LUGO 230/500 kV transformer (bank 1) 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 1 time, with the largest shadow price observed at $5.71/MWh on 2026-11-06. Prices are shown with the sign CAISO publishes; magnitude is the severity signal.
