Eskom has removed more than 210,000 customers from peak-time load reduction as it works to stabilise the electricity network.
The utility said 158 feeders have been taken off load reduction, with a further 366,894 customers expected to benefit by the end of the financial year.
While the system remains stable, Eskom warned that illegal connections and meter tampering continue to pose risks, forcing load reduction to remain in high-risk areas.
More than 577,000 smart meters have been installed so far, although rollout delays persist due to community resistance and safety concerns.
