The Coventry Landfill Solar project in Rhode Island, featuring a 5.740 MW solar array, demonstrates the dual-purpose use of landfills for solar power, providing environmental and economic benefits to local communities. Completed by the end of 2025 after the landfill was capped in 2020 using WatershedGeo® ClosureTurf®, the project employed approximately 77 electrical and civil workers, along with 15 part-time support employees, generating an estimated economic benefit of $4.4 million for the town. The solar system can power approximately 600 homes and avoid 3,759 tons of CO2 in year one and 88,545 tons over 25 years.
