A repeat purchase from a health care customer pushed shares of Ottawa clean-tech firm Thermal Energy (TSX-V: TMG) up by as much as a third amid heavy trading on Thursday.
By Friday, the company’s stock price had settled to 11 cents, down 4.35 per cent on the day but still up half a penny, or nearly five per cent, from its close on Wednesday before the announcement.
The $1.7 million deal is with an unnamed hospital group for Thermal Energy’s heat recovery systems, which are targeted at industrial, commercial and institutional customers looking to reduce their energy bills and lower emissions.
