Eskom said on Friday there was currently no planned load shedding as it had enough generating capacity to meet the demand.
This follows the first full day without load shedding in a month after Eskom resumed power cuts on April 29, breaking a five-day streak of no load shedding.
Eskom thanked its customers for using electricity sparingly during the early morning and evening peak periods, as this alleviated increased pressure on the national power grid.
"In winter the electricity demand peaks in the morning and evening as more electricity is used during these times. We appeal to all our customers to continue to reduce their electricity usage throughout the day but to be aware of the need to save more during the peak periods from 06:00 to 10:00 and 17:00 to 21:00.
"Every little bit of savings goes a long way in assisting us to manage the demand and supply of electricity and to eliminate load shedding," Eskom said.
The power utility urged electricity users to consider energy efficient ways of keeping warm as the evening temperatures begin to drop.
