Earlier, Wisconsin Public Service (WPS), a subsidiary of Integrys Energy Group (NYSE: TEG), announced that it is forecasting a need for replacement power by 2019. The company indicated it had already started the process because of the long lead time in siting, gaining approval for, and building a generating unit that could meet its needs. WPS is also in the preliminary stages of formulating its plan to request bids from others who would sell the company the power needed in 2019 in either short- or long-term contracts.
