Scheduled blackouts are unlikely to happen on Friday and the weekend, Eskom said.
"Our aspiration is not to have loadshedding today and the weekend," spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe said.
"We are doing everything possible to avoid having to implement loadshedding."
He said the electricity situation remained the same as earlier this week.
Support from customers and the fact that some generators were back online had curbed power cuts this week, Phasiwe said.
