Nuclear Powers Maryland

Maryland has an important opportunity to become a clean energy leader by embracing carbon-free nuclear power.

[Nuclear Powers Maryland @NuclearPowersMD]

Meet the people behind Maryland's clean energy. There are more than 800 Marylanders who work at Calvert Cliffs, keeping the state's largest source of emissions-free power running around the clock.

[Nuclear Powers Maryland @NuclearPowersMD]

Here's a number worth knowing:

⏩ A single plant on the Chesapeake produces about 40% of all the electricity generated in Maryland, and 80% of the state's clean power. Calvert Cliffs has been Maryland's clean energy workhorse for 50 years and counting.

It’s fun to see the range of reactor designs out there, but here's what matters for Maryland today: the two pressurized water reactors at Calvert Cliffs have quietly kept our lights on for 50 years.

☕ 50 years of clean, reliable, around-the-clock power for Maryland.

[Nuclear Powers Maryland @NuclearPowersMD]

Since the 1970s, Calvert Cliffs has delivered reliable power to Maryland, through every season, every storm, and every summer peak.

50 years of quietly doing its job.

[Nuclear Powers Maryland @NuclearPowersMD]

Calvert Cliffs' latest refueling outage brought more than 1,500 skilled tradespeople to Calvert County for nearly a month, while delivering close to $90 million in upgrades to keep MD's only nuclear plant running safely and reliably for years to come.

Nuclear power might be exploring the moon next? NASA is considering sending a spare, nuclear-powered rover (originally built as a stand-in for Perseverance and Curiosity) to the lunar south pole.

Behind every megawatt from Calvert Cliffs is a team watching the numbers around the clock, every single day of the year.

One uranium pellet, about the size of a gummy bear, packs the same energy as 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 149 gallons of oil, or a full ton of coal. This is why we call nuclear energy dense.

Small pellet. Huge energy. 🤯

One uranium fuel pellet packs more power than you might guess.

Here's a stat that might surprise you: a typical data center can generate millions more in annual revenue than it costs to serve, and that surplus can help lower costs for everyone else on the grid.

[Nuclear Powers Maryland @NuclearPowersMD]

Calvert Cliffs has been quietly powering Maryland for 50 years, through changing administrations, changing energy debates, and changing technology.

What is your favorite way that Calvert Cliffs has impacted Maryland?

[Nuclear Powers Maryland @NuclearPowersMD]

Maryland isn't alone in this. Thirteen governors highlighted nuclear energy in their 2026 State of the State addresses. States across the country are laying the policy groundwork for nuclear's next chapter.

We recently celebrated International Women in Engineering Day, so we wanted to spotlight the women who help keep Calvert Cliffs running safely every day.

Did you know that small modular reactors are built to be resilient against extreme weather, cyber threats, and physical attacks? This is what the next generation of nuclear looks like.

Location matters when it comes to clean energy.

Maryland produces fewer CO2 emissions per megawatt hour than its neighboring states, with 68% fewer than West Virginia.

[Nuclear Powers Maryland @NuclearPowersMD]

By adding new energy demand where & when that capacity exists, anchored by reliable, 24/7nuclear power, large economic development projects, like data centers & advanced manufacturers, can come online while reducing strain on the grid and helping keep costs down for MD families.

Any future without nuclear energy is incomplete and unreliable.

For more than 50 years, nuclear energy has set the standard for safety and reliability.

The next step isn't changing those standards, it's modernizing how we achieve them.
