Nuclear Powers Maryland

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?

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. [nei.org/news/states-bu…]

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. x.com/GovNuclear/sta…

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.

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. x.com/NEI/status/206…

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. nei.org/news/21st-cent…

Our power grid doesn’t clock out at 5 p.m. It needs a steady 24/7, emissions-free flow that doesn't go dark when it's cloudy or calm. Nuclear is the only energy source that checks every single one of those boxes.

Calvert Cliffs contributes $23 million annually in property taxes and supports over 800 full-time jobs in Southern Maryland.

Did you know that over 25 nuclear energy plants have been approved for 80-year operating lives and three-quarters of the fleet are pursuing power upgrades that will add 5 to 6 gigawatts of new capacity to the grid? @NEI's president breaks it all down ⬇️

Calvert Cliffs already produces about 40% of the state's total power generation and 80% of its clean power. More nuclear means more reliable energy, lower costs and a grid that can actually keep up with the state’s growth. x.com/GovNuclear/sta…

5 things you should know about nuclear energy: ☁️ The cooling towers aren’t producing smoke, they’re producing water vapor 🛡️ Nuclear plants operate under rigorous safety standards 🌱 It’s one of the lowest carbon-emitting energy sources Learn more: energy.gov/ne/articles/5-…

When you need reliable, clean energy, nothing beats nuclear.

A reminder of what Calvert Cliffs does for Maryland every single day. Nearly 2,000 MW of reliable, emissions-free power that operates 24/7/365. x.com/NEI/status/205…

Nuclear keeps Maryland employed. Calvert Cliffs supports 800+ full-time jobs, contributes $23 million in annual property taxes, and has been an economic cornerstone of this state for 50 years.

The people at Calvert Cliffs keep our energy grid up and running with reliable, emissions-free energy. This post is to celebrate them.

Companies aren't betting on intermittent energy to power the future of American technology. They're betting on nuclear. Maryland already has the infrastructure in place.

The state of the nuclear energy industry? Strong and getting stronger. 8 reactors under construction across North America. 90 in development. 23 GW of new nuclear planned over the next 15 years. nei.org/news/state-of-…

The world is catching up. Maryland has been here for decades, getting our state’s power from reliable, emissions-free nuclear energy. x.com/NEI/status/204…
