While load-shedding has been suspended, Eskom has warned the cold front expected at the weekend may result in increased demand for electricity, adding to capacity constraints.
The power utility said the generation system remains constrained and stage 2 load-shedding might be implemented at short notice on Friday and at evening peak times over the weekend.
Unit 2 of the Koeberg nuclear power station was safely shut down in accordance with operating procedures on Friday morning.
