<p>The company has also planned to construct a new rolling mill for this project. The project involves a £450m investment. The first meeting for the investment plan of Lochaber Delivery Group is scheduled to take place today, February 3.</p>
<p>Rural Economy Minister Fergus Ewing will switch on newly-installed bio-fuel generating units within a hydro-power station. The units will make Lochaber Smelter “the greenest metal-producing facility in the UK”, the company claims.</p>
