Eskom has imposed conditions to access the national grid on 1,850 megawatts worth of projects that developers including Karpowership and Electricite de France have struggled to complete since they were awarded in March 2021.
Power outages will ease on Wednesday because of an improvement in available generation capacity, Eskom said.
Business groups are working with government to try and arrest the slump in energy provision and the deteriorating rail and port services.
Eskom has extended the right of least two companies to connect to South Africa's power grid, keeping the struggling projects alive.
Eskom will remove 4,000MW of power from the national grid until 5am on Monday as delays in returning three of its generating units to service constrain capacity.
