The Réservoir Manic 1 is a reservoir in the Canadian province of Québec .
It is located in the Côte-Nord region around the lower reaches of the Rivière Manicouagan . The area of the lake is 12.5 km², the length 14 km.
The dam Barrage McCormick ( ⊙ ) and the neighboring west location of the former dam Barrage Manic-1 ( ⊙ ) dam the river near its mouth three kilometers west of Baie-Comeau .
There are two storage power plants directly on the two dams . The McCormick hydropower plant was built between 1951 and 1953 and has an output of 304 MW . The power plant is owned by the state-owned energy utility Hydro-Québec and the aluminum group Alcoa , with a share of 60 and 40% respectively. Hydro-Québec owns the Manic-1 hydropower plant , built between 1964 and 1966 (output: 184 MW).
