This is just one node in CAISO (California's energy market).

A better metric would be a hub price, but I don't have ready access to those (our software doesn't capture them since we aren't involved much in CAISO)

For reference Texas has NO increase, prices are way down. But Texas is a lot of wind. New York, Midwest and the PJM markets are showing about 20 to 30% increases in prices during the eclipse.
