About one-third of Maryland's net electricity generation comes from the state's only nuclear power plant, Calvert Cliffs, on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
More than half of the coal mined in western Maryland is used for electric power generation. The state's total coal production is relatively small—less than 1% of the nation’s total.
