Eskom announced on Sunday that it has downgraded load-shedding to Stage 1, starting at midday to 10 pm.
Eskom said load-shedding was necessary to replenish its emergency generation reserves.
The country was hit by Stage 4 load-shedding this week because of cold, rainy weather and broken generator units.
The utility is urging South Africans to use electricity sparingly.
Eskom also said all non-essential electrical appliances should be switched off or disconnected during load-shedding to avoid surges when the power returns.
