COLRIVER 230/500 kV transformer (bank 2) is an transformer operating at 230 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 5 times, with the largest shadow price observed at $8.62/MWh on 2026-11-06. Prices are shown with the sign CAISO publishes; magnitude is the severity signal.
