Overview

Transmission constraints binding in SPP's real-time balancing market, published every five minutes with the constraint name, its shadow price, the constrained direction, and the monitored limit and actual flow in MW. A non-zero shadow price is direct evidence that the named constraint was binding and pricing congestion in that interval. SPP publishes no associated contingency or monitored-facility name on this feed, so a constraint name cannot be resolved to a physical facility from this table alone.
