Eksom says a generation unit each at Matla and Medupi power stations was returned to service by Sunday.
However, in the same period, a generating unit each at Grootvlei and Lethabo power stations was taken offline for repairs.
"The delays in returning a unit to service at Arnot, Duvha, Kriel and Lethabo power stations contributed to the current capacity constraints.," they say.
Various stages of load shedding will be implemented until Wednesday.
