ANTELOPE – WIRLWIND 500 kV (ckt 1) is a transmission line operating at 500 kVthat appears as a congestion constraint in the California ISO market. When power flow reaches this element's operating limit, CAISO's market optimization assigns it a shadow price — the cost to the system of that limit binding — which in turn drives locational price separation around it.
Across the market intervals retained in this dataset, it has bound 217 times, with the largest shadow price observed at $128.91/MWh on 2026-07-22. Prices are shown with the sign CAISO publishes; magnitude is the severity signal.
