Thermal Energy is staying hot in October.
After securing a large contract earlier this month, on Monday the Ottawa clean-tech firm announced revenue growth and a strong order backlog for its first quarter of fiscal 2018.
Revenues for the quarter ending Aug. 31 were $3.1 million for Thermal Energy (TSX-V:TMG), a full $1 million increase compared to the same period a year ago. A higher proportion of sales of its heat recovery systems led the firm’s rising revenues.
