Andrea Arricale

Andrea serves as an Energy Specialist within the World Bank, where he leads analytical and operational work to expand access to electricity for schools, hospitals, households, and businesses across Sub-Saharan Africa. He contributes to the World Bank and African Development Bank–led Mission 300, an ambitious effort to connect 300 million Africans to electricity by 2030. Andrea’s work focuses on designing sustainable business models that blend public and donor funding to unlock private investment in markets facing structural barriers, particularly for off-grid solar solutions serving public institutions and remote communities. He has supported the deployment of hundreds of millions in development finance and helped to bring modern energy services to millions of people, businesses and public facilities.

Andrea holds a JD from the University of Trento (Italy), a Master of Arts in International Affairs and International Economics from Johns Hopkins SAIS, and completed the Financing and Deploying Clean Energy (FDCE) Certificate Program at Yale University.
