Dougal Boston

Analyst    


Dougal joined Ridge Clean Energy in 2025 upon graduating from the University of Manchester with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. His multi-disciplinary academic background offers a balanced and broad perspective complemented by a strong interest in the intersection of politics and law in the energy sector.

Whilst studying Dougal completed voluntary roles with NGOs in Central and South America, developing a passion for sustainability in both social and environmental spheres. His commitment to driving the energy transition was cemented during a Corporate & Government Affairs internship with Rolls-Royce SMR, where he gained first-hand insight into the regulatory and political dimensions of the nuclear energy sector.

As an analyst Dougal plays a crucial role in identifying suitable sites for renewable development which align with local and national interest. Alongside analysis of the physical geography of a site, this means active community engagement and sharp commercial and political awareness to ensure Ridge leads best practice in the industry.
