Eskom said it would suspend load shedding at 9pm on Sunday night, after the country has been hit with stage 2 power cuts since last night.
The utility says it is expecting 4,000 megawatts to come back online on Monday.
Eskom is anticipating to return to service approximately 4 100MW of generation capacity by Monday evening, which will further ease the capacity constraints.
At Medupi power station the coal supply has normalised and a generating unit has returned to service.
While the Kendal ash plant has returned to full operation, unfortunately the station has suffered failures of two generating units.
“We have had further breakdowns of a unit each at Kriel, Komati and Arnot power stations, as well as a delay in returning a unit to service at Tutuka,” Eskom said in a statement.
