Landfill-gas power plant
Gas cleaning and engine-generators, with a switchyard feeding the local network.
The Project
Cleaner streets.
A brighter future.
A three-phase campus for paid waste collection, recycling, an engineered landfill and renewable electricity in northern Haiti.
The vision
Start with the streets.
End with the lights on.
Haiti has some of the hardest waste problems in the region. Only about one Haitian in three is connected to the grid, and even connected homes rarely have power around the clock. Electrify Haiti tackles both problems at once.
The idea came from a simple observation: waste buried in a sealed pit produces gas, and that gas can run a generator. Built properly — with liners, drains and gas wells — the same principle powers landfill-gas plants around the world.
Electrify Haiti brings that proven technology to Vaudreuil, adds solar and batteries so power flows from the first phase, and pays local families for the waste they bring in. Each part supports the others: waste feeds the power plant, power charges the trucks, and income from energy and services keeps everything running.
Proposed area
Vaudreuil
Near Cap-Haïtien, northern Haiti.
Vaudreuil sits on the plain near Cap-Haïtien, Haiti’s second city — close enough for short truck routes and power lines, far enough from homes for a safe buffer. The exact parcel will be confirmed after checks for land title, flooding, groundwater, road access and the nearby airport.

On the campus
Everything in
one place.
Keeping every system on one site means trucks, power and treatment share roads, staff and maintenance.
Engineered landfill
Lined cells with gas wells, drains and daily cover. Not an open dump.
Solar farm
Ground-mounted solar with battery storage, supplying power from the first phase.
Recycling and workshop
A sorting hall recovers saleable materials; a workshop keeps trucks and machines running.
Electric truck depot
Eight electric refuse trucks charged on site from the campus’s own power.
Our own machinery
Excavators, loaders and bulldozers to build every new cell in-house.
Who it serves
Built around
the community.
- Households — paid for the waste they collect, and a free basic electricity allowance.
- Businesses — reliable power for shops, workshops, cold storage and services.
- The city — a contracted collection and disposal service instead of open dumping.
- Workers — jobs in collection, sorting, operations, maintenance and electrical service, with training.
- The environment — less waste in canals and the sea, captured methane, protected groundwater.

Where we are
Next steps,
in the open.
Electrify Haiti is in development. These are the steps that turn the concept into a construction-ready first phase.
