Eskom says although the power supply system remains constrained and vulnerable, no load shedding is expected over the weekend.
But, the state-owned power utility said in a statement on Saturday that the probability of load shedding remained, and would only be implemented if absolutely necessary.
Eskom said there was sufficient diesel for its open-cycle gas turbines and water at the pumped storage schemes to supplement the shortage of capacity if required.
It said the prognosis for the coming week would be communicated on Sunday.
