Eskom says it is not planning any load shedding this weekend.
Spokesperson, Sikonathi Mantshantsha said on Friday evening that although no load shedding was anticipated, the system remained vulnerable and unpredictable.
He said Eskom teams successfully returned generating units at Duvha, Kriel and Tutuka power stations to service, and these had helped ease the capacity constraints.
Eskom CEO André de Ruyter earlier said that South Africa would be at risk of load shedding until September next year.
The power utility's current debt burden is R450-billion and it is also owed about R30-billion by municipalities.
Soweto alone owes Eskom around R18-billion.
De Ruyter told the Cape Town Press Club that load shedding would be necessary to catch up with long overdue maintenance.
