Andre Larocque has managed more than 50 renewable energy and electricity access projects around the world, most recently helping Indonesia achieve its energy-related climate goals as Chief of Party for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Sustainable Energy for Indonesia’s Advancing Resilience (SINAR) project. SINAR follows Tetra Tech’s implementation of the USAID Indonesia Clean Energy Development (ICED) Project, which ran in two phases from 2011 through 2020.
Before SINAR, Andre was Chief of Party of the USAID Sustainable Energy for Pakistan (SEP) project.

In nearly a decade with Tetra Tech, Andre’s work has ranged from small and emerging economies in sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia to large, liberalized markets.
He holds a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Marketing from the University of Québec at Three Rivers and studied financial analysis at the University of Québec at Montreal.
