This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Maryland, sorted by type and name. In 2019, Maryland had a total summer capacity of 14,609 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 39,329 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 38.1% nuclear, 37.1% natural gas, 14.5% coal, 5.6% hydroelectric, 1.3% wind, 1.2% solar, 1.2% biomass, 0.8% non-biogenic waste, and 0.2% petroleum. Small-scale solar, which includes customer-owned PV panels, delivered an additional net 965 GWh of energy to Maryland's electrical grid. This was nearly twice the generation of the state's utility-scale PV plants.[1]
