Here's the context - thank you in advance!
８月が終わり、関西の節電期間は７日で終了する。猛暑は続いているが電力需給は余裕がある。懸念された計画停電は発電所の大規模なトラブルなどがなければ回避できることが確実だ。

Selected
spare capacity
Since this is apparently from a newspaper article rather than a technical journal or the like, it would be appropriate to use terminology that is readily understandable by the casual reader.
In this case, I would translate it something like, 'Despite the continuing hot summer there is spare power supply capacity.'
