Maxim Power Corp. (TSX: MXG) is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and owns and operates generating facilities in Canada, United States and France.[1] The company owns and operates 40 power plants (mostly coal or natural gas fired) with 788 MW of electric and 111 MW of thermal net generating capacity.[2] During a period when coal plants are being phased out, and over the objections of several environmental groups, the company received permission in 2011 to construct a new 500-megawatt coal-fired generating plant next to the existing H. R. Milner Generating Station also owned by Maxim.[3]

The company's wholly owned subsidiary, Summit Coal, has coal leases in the province of Alberta that are used to supply its generating facilities.[4]
