Maryland has few energy resources. Minor coal reserves are found in western Maryland. Wind power potential is found off the Atlantic Coast, and in the Appalachian Mountains. The Susquehanna River in the north is a source of hydroelectric power. Marylands economy is not energy-intensive, and per capita energy consumption is low.
