Smart Powerr Corp (NASDAQ: CREG) is a China-focused energy company that develops waste energy recycling and energy storage projects for energy-intensive industrial customers. Revenue is generated through Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contracts under which the company designs, builds, operates, and eventually transfers fully customized onsite systems that recapture wasted pressure, heat, and gas from industrial manufacturing processes to generate electricity. Smart Powerr is a Nevada-incorporated holding company with no material operations of its own, conducting substantially all activity through PRC subsidiaries. The company describes its primary market, the PRC waste energy recycling sector, as fragmented but competitive, with rivals that focus on single waste-energy types or single industries. As of the 10-K filed 2026-03-31, the company was actively pursuing a business transformation toward energy storage integrated solutions, targeting industrial and commercial complexes, large-scale photovoltaic and wind power stations, and remote off-grid locations in China.
