The McCormick generating station is a dam and power station built on the Manicouagan river by the Quebec & Ontario Paper Company and the Canadian British Aluminium Company 3 km (1.9 mi) west of Baie-Comeau, Quebec, Canada. It is named after colonel Robert R. McCormick (1880–1955), who owned and publ
ished the Chicago Tribune. At the time of its commissioning in 1952, the plant contained two 55,000-hp (41.8 MW) turbines, which provided power to the paper mill, then owned by the American newspaper. The McCormick plant sits next to Hydro-Québec's Manic-1 generating station and the two plants share the same reservoir. Its installed capacity has expanded over time to its current 335 MW capacity.
