Interesting developments in the Electricity Market
First - Edison about to up their stake between 2.90 - 3.25
Second - Article reader noticed indicating CEN may make a play for TPW
Thirdly - Todays announcements on TPW/Alliant/IFT 
 
What does it mean?
 
It looks like Alliant is preparing itself to fight CEN (and or others) for TPW?
What will IFT do with their stake?
 
Also, isn't it odd that CEN price hasn't moved up - hardly leikely Edison would bid at the lower end of the range
Looks like there may be some action to come.
 
What do others think?
