That depends on what you consider geothermal energy, and energy source. Ground source heat pumps could be used in Maryland, and would qualify as a geothermal energy source. This would use heat from the ground to help heat a home.

If you are asking about geothermal power plants and such, higher temperature, larger reservoirs are not as common. It is quite likely that Maryland does not have such a reservoir. An area north of San Francisco called The Geysers is the single largest known geothermal reservoir, which has been commercially developed for power production. However, the many closed power plants in that area show the risks in developing a steam field. These risks can deter potential investors from attempting to explore smaller, lesser known fields until technology has improved to lessen the cost of such exploration.
