The power utility had implemented stage 2 load shedding since last Thursday.
This was due to breakdowns of some generating units.
Eskom Spokesperson Sikhonathi Mantshantsha says significant risks to the power system remain and load shedding could again be implemented at short notice.
“Some generation units will return to service which will further ease the pressure on the system. We expect units to return to service at Kriel, Majuba, Hendrina, Lethabo and Tutuka power stations. Eskom will communicate promptly should there be any significant changes to the power system,” says Mantshantsha.
