Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for annual financial statements.
	Basis of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CREG and its subsidiary, Sifang Holdings, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Huahong New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Huahong”) and Shanghai TCH, Shanghai TCH’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Xi’an TCH Energy Tech Co., Ltd. (“Xi’an TCH”) and Xi’an TCH’s subsidiaries, Erdos TCH Energy Saving Development Co., Ltd (“Erdos TCH”), 100% owned by Xi’an TCH (See note 1), and Zhonghong, 90% owned by Xi’an TCH.  Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from the operations of Shanghai TCH and its subsidiaries, which represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	In preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets as well as revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
	Revenue Recognition
	Sales-type Leasing and Related Revenue Recognition
	The Company constructs and leases waste energy recycling power generating projects to its customers. The Company typically transfers ownership of the waste energy recycling power generating projects to its customers at the end of the lease.  The investment in these projects is recorded as investment in sales-type leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 840, “Leases,” and its various amendments and interpretations. The Company finances construction of waste energy recycling power generating projects.  The sales and cost of sales are recognized at the inception of lease. The investment in sales-type leases consists of the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable less unearned interest income and estimated executory cost. Minimum lease payments are part of the lease agreement between the Company (as the lessor) and the customer (as the lessee).  The discount rate implicit in the lease is used to calculate the present value of minimum lease payments.  The minimum lease payment consists of the gross lease payments net of executory costs and contingent rentals, if any. Unearned interest income is amortized to income over the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of return on net investment in the lease.  While revenue is recognized at the inception of the lease, the cash flow from the sales-type lease occurs over the course of the lease, which results in interest income and reduction of receivables. Revenue is recognized net of sales tax.
	Contingent Rental Income
	The Company records income from actual electricity usage in addition to minimum lease payments of each project as contingent rental income in the period contingent rental income is earned.  Contingent rent is not part of minimum lease payments.
	Cash and Equivalents
	Cash and equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three (3) months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
	Accounts Receivable
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had accounts receivable of $16,330 and $71,573, respectively, from contingent rental income.
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within China. Balances at financial institutions within China are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
	Certain other financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of accounts and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its customers’ financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
	The operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated lives as follows:
	Building		20 years
	Vehicles		2 - 5 years
	Office and Other Equipment		2 - 5 years
	Software		2 - 3 years
	Impairment of Long-life Assets
	In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the total expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There was no impairment as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales consists primarily of the direct material of the power generating system and expenses incurred directly for project construction for sales-type leasing and sales tax and additions for contingent rental income.
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
	Under FASB ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.  Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had not taken any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording of tax related liability.
	Non-Controlling Interests
	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 810,  “Consolidation,” which established new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability (as was previously the case), that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially-owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to NCIs even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.
	The net income (loss) attributed to NCIs was separately designated in the accompanying statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss). Losses attributable to NCIs in a subsidiary may exceed an NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to NCIs is attributed to those interests. NCIs shall continue to be attributed their share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.
	Statement of Cash Flows
	In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debts, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Receivables on sales-type leases are based on interest rates implicit in the lease.
	FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value (“FV”) of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines FV, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of FV measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures.  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
		⋅	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
		⋅	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
		⋅	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to FV measurement.
	The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480,  “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815,  “Derivatives and Hedging”.
	The following are the considerations with respect to disclosures of FV of long-term debt obligations:
	As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s long-term debt obligations consisted of the following: (i) various long-term bank loans and Zhongrong International Trust Co., Ltd. (“ZRIT”) trust loan payable of $67.41 million, and (ii) Zhonghong entrusted loan of $62.43 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s long-term debt obligations consisted of the following: (i) long-term bank loans payable of $18.86 million, (ii) a long-term payable for a sale-leaseback transaction of $3.83 million, and (iii) Zhonghong entrusted loan of $62.65 million.
	FV measurements and approximations for certain financial instruments are based on what a reporting entity would likely have to pay to transfer the financial obligation to an entity with a comparable credit rating. The Company’s bank loans and trust loans payable are privately held (i.e., nonpublic) debt; therefore, pricing inputs are not observable. For this reason, the Company classified bank loans and trust loans payable as a Level 3 FV measurement in the valuation hierarchy.
	For the Company’s long-term bank loans, ZRIT trust loan and Zhonghong entrusted loans noted above, the Company believes the carrying amounts approximate their FV. Based on the Company’s understanding of the credit markets, the Company’s business is in a sector (energy-saving green) that is supported by the PRC government and the lending bank, the Company believes it could have obtained similar loans on similar terms and interest rates. In addition, in connection with the FV measurement, the Company considered nonperformance risk (including credit risk) relating to the debt obligations, including the following: (i) the Company is considered a low credit risk customer to the lending bank and its creditors; (ii) the Company has a good history of making timely payments (discussed in Note 12) and have never defaulted on any loans; and (iii) the Company has a stable and continuous cash inflow from collections from its sales-type lease of energy saving projects.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at FV other than the sale-lease back transaction of $0 and $2.39 million on December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was the present value of the total future cash outflow including principal and interest payments (See Note 15).
	Stock Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” and FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity.”  The Company recognizes in its statement of operations FV at the grant date for stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.
	Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
	The Company presents net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740.  Accordingly, basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, without consideration for common stock equivalents.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as well as common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method for stock options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible notes.  The Company made an accounting policy election to use the if-converted method for convertible securities that are eligible to receive common stock dividends, if declared.  Diluted EPS reflect the potential dilution that could occur based on the exercise of stock options or warrants or conversion of convertible securities using the if-converted method.
	The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:
			2014		2013
	Net income		$	19,811,922	$	15,629,536
	Weighted average shares outstanding – basic			69,627,116		53,850,289
	Effect of dilutive securities:
	Options granted			-		533,129
	Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted			69,627,116		54,383,418
	Earnings per share – basic		$	0.28	$	0.29
	Earnings per share – diluted		$	0.28	$	0.29
	Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB were translated into United States Dollars (“USD” or “$”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
The Company uses FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. FASB ASC Topic 280 has no effect on the Company’s financial statements as substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in one industry segment. All of the Company’s assets are located in the PRC.
Reclassification
Certain prior year period accounts have been reclassified in comformity with the presentation of current period including the reclassification of noncurrent deffered tax asset to current deferred tax asset in the amount of $70,551.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, FASB issued, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-05, Service Concession Arrangements (ASC Topic 853). The objective of this Update is to specify that an operating entity should not account for a service concession arrangement within the scope of this Update as a lease in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases. Service concession arrangements may become more prevalent in the United States as public-sector entities seek alternative ways to provide public services on a more efficient and cost-effective basis. The amendments apply to an operating entity of a service concession arrangement entered into with a public-sector entity grantor when the arrangement meets certain conditions. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to service concession arrangements that exist at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. The modified retrospective approach requires the cumulative effect of applying this Update to arrangements existing at the beginning of the period of adoption to be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance for the annual period of adoption. The amendments are effective for a public business entity for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU will not affect the Company’s financial statements.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

	Collective Capital Trust Plan
	On December 3, 2009, the Company and Beijing International Trust Co., Ltd. (the “Beijing Trust”) formed a Low Carbon Fortune-Energy Recycling No. 1 Collective Capital Trust Plan (the “Capital Trust Plan”) pursuant to the Capital Trust Loan Agreement, dated November 19, 2009, entered into between Erdos TCH and the Beijing Trust (the “Capital Trust Agreement”). All amounts raised under the Capital Trust Plan were loaned to Erdos TCH in connection with its WHPG projects Phase II and Phase III construction and operation.
	Under the Capital Trust Agreement, the annual base interest rate was 9.94% for A1 preferred trust fund units with a term of two (2) years, 11% for A2 preferred trust fund units with a term of three (3) years, 12.05% for A3 preferred trust fund units and 8.35% for the category B secondary trust fund units, each with a term of four (4) years. Erdos TCH provided a lien on its equipment, assets and accounts receivable to guarantee the loans under the Capital Trust Agreement. Xi’an TCH and Mr. Guohua Ku, the CEO, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and a major shareholder, provided unconditional and irrevocable joint liability guarantees to the Beijing Trust for Erdos TCH’s performance under the Capital Trust Agreement. Erdos (the former minority shareholder and customer of Erdos TCH) provided a commitment letter on minimum power purchase from Erdos TCH.
	The Capital Trust Plan raised $44.1 million (RMB 300 million) through a series of capital raises in 2009 and 2010, including (i)  13,750,000 B1 units ($2.0 million) purchased by the management of Erdos TCH; (ii)  1,600,000 ($235,600) A1 units and (iii)  46,250,000 B2 units ($7.4 million) purchased by Xi’an TCH, which was considered an investment by Xi’an TCH into Erdos TCH and, accordingly, was eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. On behalf of Erdos TCH, Xi’an TCH paid in full to Beijing Trust for the Trust Loan in December 2013 except the principal of RMB 46.25 million ($7.59 million) that was previously invested by Xi’an TCH to the Trust Loan plus accumulated interest of RMB 2.78 million ($0.46 million), and RMB 7.65 million ($1.25 million) that was previously invested by Mr. Guohua Ku to the Trust Loan plus accumulated interest of RMB 459,000 ($75,000), that remained as outstanding liabilities of Erdos TCH. Beijing Trust transferred credit rights of the above outstanding balances to Xian TCH and Mr. Guohua Ku. In addition, Xi’an TCH assumed liability of Erdos TCH to pay Mr. Ku. The outstanding liability of Erdos TCH to Xi’an TCH was eliminated in the consolidation. The related management incentive benefit and Clean Development Mechanism under the Kyoto Protoco were terminated accordingly without further execution as a result of repayment to Beijing Trust.
	Entrusted Loan Payable
	The HYREF Fund (Beijing Hongyuan Recycling Energy Investment Center, LLP) established in July, 2013 with total fund size of RMB 460 million ($75.0 million) invests in Xi’an Zhonghong for Zhonghong’s three new CDQ WHPG projects. The HYREF Fund invested RMB 3 million ($0.5 million) as an equity investment and RMB 457 million ($74.5 million) as a debt investment in Xi’an Zhonghong; in return for such investments, the HYREF Fund will receive an interest payment from Zhonghong for the HYREF Fund’s debt investment. The RMB 457 million ($74.5 million) was released to Zhonghong through an entrusted bank, which is also the supervising bank for the use of the loan. The loan was deposited to a bank account at the Supervising Bank (the Industrial Bank Xi’an Branch) and is jointly supervised by Zhonghong and the Fund Management Company. Project spending shall be verified by the Fund Management Company to confirm that it is in accordance with the project schedule before the funds are released. All the operating accounts of Zhonghong have been opened with the branches of the Supervising Bank and the Supervising Bank has the right to monitor all bank accounts opened by Zhonghong. The entrusted bank will charge 0.1% of loan amount as service fee and will not take any lending risk. The loan was collateralized by the accounts receivable and the fixed assets of Shenqiu Phase I and II power generation systems, the accounts receivable and fixed assets of Zhonghong’s three CDQ WHPG systems, and a 27 million RMB capital contribution made by Xi’an TCH. Repayment of the loan (principal and interest) was also jointly and severally guaranteed by Xi’an TCH and Mr. Guohua Ku, the Chairman and CEO of the Company.
	The loan agreement provides, Zhonghong shall also maintain a certain capital level in its account with the Supervising Bank to make sure it has sufficient funds to make interest payments when they are due:
		⋅	During the first three (3) years from the first release of the loan, the balance in its account shall be no less than RMB 7.14 million ($1.19 million) on the 20th day of the 2nd month of each quarter and no less than RMB 14.28 million ($2.38 million) on the 14th day of the last month of each quarter;
		⋅	During the fourth year from the first release of the loan, the balance in its account shall be no less than RMB 1.92 million ($0.32 million) on the 20th day of the 2nd month of each quarter and no less than RMB 3.85 million ($0.64 million) on the 14th day of the last month of each quarter; and
		⋅	During the fifth year from the first release of the loan, the balance in its account shall be no less than RMB 96,300 ($16,050) on the 20th day of the 2nd month of each quarter and no less than RMB 192,500 ($32,080) on the 14th day of the last month of each quarter.
	The term of this loan is for sixty (60) months from July 31, 2013 to July 30, 2018. On August 6, 2016, Zhonghong shall repay principal in the amount of RMB 280 million ($45.54 million); on August 6, 2017, it shall repay principal of RMB 100 million ($16.27 million) and on July 30, 2018, it shall repay the remainder of RMB 77 million ($12.52 million). The interest rate is 12.5% per year. During the term, Zhonghong shall maintain a minimal funding level and capital level in its designated account with the Supervising Bank to make sure it has sufficient funds to make principal payments when they are due. Notwithstanding the requirement, there is a verbal agreement from the HYREF Fund that for the purpose of the efficient utilization of working capital, Zhonghong does not have to maintain a minimum funding level in its designated account with the Supervising Bank. As of December 31, 2014, the entrusted loan payable had an outstanding balance of $74.69 million, of which, $12.26 million was from the investment of Xi’an TCH; accordingly, the Company netted off the loan payable of $12.26 million with the long-term investment to the HYREF Fund made by Xi’an TCH. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded interest expense of $1,377,731 on this loan and capitalized $7.96 million interest to construction in progress.
	Bank Loans - Industrial Bank
	On March 31, 2011, Xi’an TCH entered into a loan agreement with the Industrial Bank for energy saving and emission reduction projects, whereby the Industrial Bank agreed to loan $4.88 million (RMB 30 million) to Xi’an TCH for three (3) years to March 30, 2014. The loan agreement has a floating interest rate that resets at the beginning of each quarter at 115% of the national base interest rate for the same term and same level loan (then 7.07%).  Under the loan, Xi’an TCH is required to make quarterly interest payments and, beginning six (6) months after the date of the release of the funds, to make minimum quarterly principal payments of $488,000 (RMB 3 million).

INCOME TAX	17. INCOME TAX
	The Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning privately-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.  Under the Chinese tax law, the tax treatment of finance and sales-type leases is similar to US GAAP.  However, the local tax bureau continues to treat CREG sales-type leases as operating leases.  Accordingly, the Company recorded deferred income taxes.
	The Company’s subsidiaries generate all of their net income from their PRC operations. Shanghai TCH’s effective income tax rate for 2014 and 2013 was 25%. During 2013, Xi’an TCH was re-approved for high tech enterprise status and enjoyed 15% preferential income tax rate for three (3) years effective January 1, 2013. Huahong, Zhonghong and Erdos TCH’s effective income tax rate for 2014 and 2013 was 25%.  Shanghai TCH, Xi’an TCH, Huahong, Zhonghong and Erdos TCH file separate income tax returns.
	There is no income tax for companies domiciled in the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not present any income tax provisions related to Cayman Islands tax jurisdiction where Sifang Holding is domiciled.
	The US parent company, China Recycling Energy Corporation, is taxed in the US and, as of December 31, 2014, had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for income taxes of $13.60 million, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income as NOLs can be carried forward up to twenty (20) years from the year the loss is incurred. Our management believes the realization of benefits from these losses may be uncertain due to the US parent company’s continuing operating losses. Accordingly, a 100% deferred tax asset valuation allowance was provided.
	Consolidated foreign pretax earnings approximated $27.30 and $24.58 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Pretax earnings of a foreign subsidiary are subject to US taxation when repatriated. The Company provides income taxes on the undistributed earnings of non-US subsidiaries except to the extent that such earnings are indefinitely invested outside the United States. As of December 31, 2014, $104.21 million of accumulated undistributed earnings of non-US subsidiaries were indefinitely invested. At the existing US federal income tax rate, additional taxes of $20.10 million would have to be provided if such earnings were remitted currently.
	The following table reconciles the US statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:
		2014			2013

	Options to Employees
	On August 4, 2008, the Company granted certain employees stock options under the Company’s 2007 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan, which was later amended and restated in 2010, to acquire 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, at $0.80 per share. The options vested over three (3) years and have a life of five (5) years. The Company’s 2007 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan has expired.
	Based on the FV method under FASB ASC Topic 718, the FV of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“BSOPM”). The BSOPM has assumptions for risk free interest rates, dividends, stock volatility and expected life of an option grant. The risk free interest rate is based upon market yields for United States Treasury debt securities at a maturity near the term remaining on the option. Dividend rates are based on the Company’s dividend history. The stock volatility factor is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected life of an option grant is based on management’s estimate as no options have been exercised in the Plan to date. The FV of each option granted to employees is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of each stock option award. The FV of the options was calculated using the following assumptions, estimated life of five (5) years, volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 2.76%, and dividend yield of 0%. No estimate of forfeitures was made as the Company has a short history of granting options. The options were accounted for as a modification of the options cancelled on June 25, 2008. The grant date FV of options was $5.04 million. The options expired on August 3, 2013.
	On November 9 and 11, 2009, the Company and three option holders agreed to cancel 87,000 vested but unexercised shares and forfeit unvested options for 203,000 unvested shares.  On November 11, 2009, the Company granted options to two other employees for 290,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.35 per share. The options vested over three (3) years and have a life of five (5) years. The FV of the options was calculated using the following assumptions, estimated life of five (5) years, volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 3.84%, and dividend yield of 0%. The grant date FV of options was $518,513. The options expired on November 10, 2014.
	In July 2011, the Compensation Committee approved and provided the employees cashless exercise elections to the stock options granted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) on August 4, 2008. On August 20, 2013, the Board further approved and provided the Employee Recipients (stock options granted to purchase shares of common stock of the Company in its resolutions on November 11, 2009 and August 13, 2010, as further discussed below) cashless exercise elections. The holder of the stock options may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of his/her option (or the portion thereof being canceled) according to the following formula:
	X =160;Y (A-C)
	A
		Where	X =160;	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder
			Y =font>	the number of shares of  stock option or, if only a portion of the stock option is being exercised, the portion of the option being canceled
			A =font>	the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as defined below
			C =font>	Stock Option Exercise Price
	For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value per share shall be the closing price quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market for the five (5) trading days prior to the date on which a written notice of such holder’s election to exercise his/her option has been received by the Company. During 2013, the Employee Recipients exercised 2,650,000 shares of stock options (granted on August 4, 2008) into 1,887,411 shares of the Company’s common stock.
	On August 13, 2010, the Company granted 2,200,000 options to acquire the Company’s common stock at $3.05 per share to 36 managerial and non-managerial employees as new equity awards pursuant to the Corporation’s Amended and Restated 2007 plan. According to the vesting terms, the options granted were divided into three tranches, (i) 1/3 (one third) of the total number of shares subject to the options shall vest and become exercisable if the Company meets its minimum revenue and earnings goals in the Company’s guidance for 2010 as delivered in its earnings releases and/or conference calls in the first quarter of 2010, such vesting to occur immediately upon completion of the annual audit confirming the financial results for 2010; and (ii) an additional 1/3 (one third) of the total number of shares subject to the options shall vest and become exercisable if the Company meets certain financial goals of 2011 which will be set out and decided by the Compensation Committee, such vesting to occur immediately upon Compensation Committee’s determination that the Company has met such goals for 2011; and (iii) the remaining 1/3 (one third) of the total number of shares subject to the options shall vest and become exercisable if the Company meets certain financial goals of 2012 which is set out and decided by the Compensation Committee, such vesting is to occur immediately upon Compensation Committee’s determination that the Company has met such goals for 2012.  The options may only be exercised to the extent that such options have become vested and exercisable.
	The Company did not meet the financial goals of 2012 and 2011; accordingly, the second and third tranches (two thirds of the total number of 2,200,000 options) were forfeited.
	The options have a life of five (5) years. The FV of the options was calculated using the following assumptions; estimated life of five (5) years, volatility of 92%, risk free interest rate of 3.54%, and dividend yield of 0%. Each tranche of the options is deemed to be independent of the others. Therefore, the FV of the first tranche of options was expensed during 2011; the second and third tranche of options were forfeited due to the non-achievement of established financial benchmarks.

Contingencies [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	21. CONTINGENCIES
	The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
	The Company’s sales, purchases and expense transactions are denominated in RMB and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to make the remittance.
	The Company sells electricity to its customers and receives commercial notes (bank acceptance) from them in lieu of payments for accounts receivable. The Company discounts the commercial notes with the bank or endorses the commercial notes to vendors for payment of their own obligations or to get cash from third parties. Most of the commercial notes have a maturity of less than six (6) months. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, Xi’an TCH had outstanding notes receivable of $0 and RMB 4 million ($656,071), respectively.
	Xi’an TCH was granted a subsidy by Xi’an City Science and Technology Bureau and Xi’an City Finance Bureau under Xi’an Hi-Tech Industry Development Special Project Fund. The special project fund for Xi’an TCH is for a three (3) years period, from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014, with two criteria established to measure the performance of Xi’an TCH: (i) total accumulated sales in three (3) years should be RMB 320 million ($52.8 million), and (ii) total accumulated taxable income should be RMB 56.9 million ($9.0 million). In 2012, Xi’an TCH’s total sales were RMB 129 million ($20.5 million) and total taxable income was RMB 59.8 million ($9.5 million) under PRC GAAP.  Xian TCH achieved total accumulated taxable income target of RMB 56.9 million ($9.0 million) in 2012 under PRC GAAP. In 2013, Xi’an TCH’s total sales were RMB 154 million ($24.9 million) under PRC GAAP; in the three (3) months ended March 31, 2014, Xi’an TCH’s total sales were RMB 45 million ($7.4 million) under PRC GAAP; as a result, Xian TCH achieved total accumulated sales target of RMB 320 million ($52.8 million) under PRC GAAP as of March 31, 2014, and therefore was fully entitled to the subsidy income. Total subsidy income for three (3) years was $499,000 (RMB 3.15 million) and Xi’an TCH paid third party consulting company fees of $149,700 (RMB 945,000), for services relating to project evaluation and audit, application document preparation, assembling and compiling, the net subsidy received was $349,300 (RMB 2.21 million), which was recorded as part of other income.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for annual financial statements.
Basis of Consolidation	Basis of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CREG and its subsidiary, Sifang Holdings, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Huahong New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Huahong”) and Shanghai TCH, Shanghai TCH’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Xi’an TCH Energy Tech Co., Ltd. (“Xi’an TCH”) and Xi’an TCH’s subsidiaries, Erdos TCH Energy Saving Development Co., Ltd (“Erdos TCH”), 100% owned by Xi’an TCH (See note 1), and Zhonghong, 90% owned by Xi’an TCH.  Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from the operations of Shanghai TCH and its subsidiaries, which represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	In preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets as well as revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	Sales-type Leasing and Related Revenue Recognition
	The Company constructs and leases waste energy recycling power generating projects to its customers. The Company typically transfers ownership of the waste energy recycling power generating projects to its customers at the end of the lease.  The investment in these projects is recorded as investment in sales-type leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 840, “Leases,” and its various amendments and interpretations. The Company finances construction of waste energy recycling power generating projects.  The sales and cost of sales are recognized at the inception of lease. The investment in sales-type leases consists of the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable less unearned interest income and estimated executory cost. Minimum lease payments are part of the lease agreement between the Company (as the lessor) and the customer (as the lessee).  The discount rate implicit in the lease is used to calculate the present value of minimum lease payments.  The minimum lease payment consists of the gross lease payments net of executory costs and contingent rentals, if any. Unearned interest income is amortized to income over the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of return on net investment in the lease.  While revenue is recognized at the inception of the lease, the cash flow from the sales-type lease occurs over the course of the lease, which results in interest income and reduction of receivables. Revenue is recognized net of sales tax.
	Contingent Rental Income
	The Company records income from actual electricity usage in addition to minimum lease payments of each project as contingent rental income in the period contingent rental income is earned.  Contingent rent is not part of minimum lease payments.
Cash and Equivalents	Cash and Equivalents
	Cash and equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three (3) months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had accounts receivable of $16,330 and $71,573, respectively, from contingent rental income.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk
	Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within China. Balances at financial institutions within China are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
	Certain other financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of accounts and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its customers’ financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
	The operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated lives as follows:
	Building		20 years
	Vehicles		2 - 5 years
	Office and Other Equipment		2 - 5 years
	Software		2 - 3 years
Impairment of Long-life Assets	Impairment of Long-life Assets
	In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the total expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There was no impairment as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales consists primarily of the direct material of the power generating system and expenses incurred directly for project construction for sales-type leasing and sales tax and additions for contingent rental income.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
	Under FASB ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.  Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had not taken any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording of tax related liability.
Non-Controlling Interests	Non-Controlling Interests
	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 810,  “Consolidation,” which established new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability (as was previously the case), that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially-owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to NCIs even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.
	The net income (loss) attributed to NCIs was separately designated in the accompanying statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss). Losses attributable to NCIs in a subsidiary may exceed an NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to NCIs is attributed to those interests. NCIs shall continue to be attributed their share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.
Statement of Cash Flows	Statement of Cash Flows
	In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debts, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Receivables on sales-type leases are based on interest rates implicit in the lease.
	FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value (“FV”) of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines FV, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of FV measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures.  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
		⋅	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
		⋅	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
		⋅	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to FV measurement.
	The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480,  “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815,  “Derivatives and Hedging”.
	The following are the considerations with respect to disclosures of FV of long-term debt obligations:
	As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s long-term debt obligations consisted of the following: (i) various long-term bank loans and Zhongrong International Trust Co., Ltd. (“ZRIT”) trust loan payable of $67.41 million, and (ii) Zhonghong entrusted loan of $62.43 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s long-term debt obligations consisted of the following: (i) long-term bank loans payable of $18.86 million, (ii) a long-term payable for a sale-leaseback transaction of $3.83 million, and (iii) Zhonghong entrusted loan of $62.65 million.
	FV measurements and approximations for certain financial instruments are based on what a reporting entity would likely have to pay to transfer the financial obligation to an entity with a comparable credit rating. The Company’s bank loans and trust loans payable are privately held (i.e., nonpublic) debt; therefore, pricing inputs are not observable. For this reason, the Company classified bank loans and trust loans payable as a Level 3 FV measurement in the valuation hierarchy.
	For the Company’s long-term bank loans, ZRIT trust loan and Zhonghong entrusted loans noted above, the Company believes the carrying amounts approximate their FV. Based on the Company’s understanding of the credit markets, the Company’s business is in a sector (energy-saving green) that is supported by the PRC government and the lending bank, the Company believes it could have obtained similar loans on similar terms and interest rates. In addition, in connection with the FV measurement, the Company considered nonperformance risk (including credit risk) relating to the debt obligations, including the following: (i) the Company is considered a low credit risk customer to the lending bank and its creditors; (ii) the Company has a good history of making timely payments (discussed in Note 12) and have never defaulted on any loans; and (iii) the Company has a stable and continuous cash inflow from collections from its sales-type lease of energy saving projects.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at FV other than the sale-lease back transaction of $0 and $2.39 million on December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was the present value of the total future cash outflow including principal and interest payments (See Note 15).
Stock Based Compensation	Stock Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” and FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity.”  The Company recognizes in its statement of operations FV at the grant date for stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

	The Company presents net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740.  Accordingly, basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, without consideration for common stock equivalents.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as well as common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method for stock options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible notes.  The Company made an accounting policy election to use the if-converted method for convertible securities that are eligible to receive common stock dividends, if declared.  Diluted EPS reflect the potential dilution that could occur based on the exercise of stock options or warrants or conversion of convertible securities using the if-converted method.
	The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:
			2014		2013
	Net income		$	19,811,922	$	15,629,536
	Weighted average shares outstanding – basic			69,627,116		53,850,289
	Effect of dilutive securities:
	Options granted			-		533,129
	Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted			69,627,116		54,383,418
	Earnings per share – basic		$	0.28	$	0.29
	Earnings per share – diluted		$	0.28	$	0.29
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB were translated into United States Dollars (“USD” or “$”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
	The Company uses FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting
	FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. FASB ASC Topic 280 has no effect on the Company’s financial statements as substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in one industry segment. All of the Company’s assets are located in the PRC.
Reclassification	Reclassification
	Certain prior year period accounts have been reclassified in comformity with the presentation of current period including the reclassification of noncurrent deffered tax asset to current deferred tax asset in the amount of $70,551.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In January 2014, FASB issued, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-05, Service Concession Arrangements (ASC Topic 853). The objective of this Update is to specify that an operating entity should not account for a service concession arrangement within the scope of this Update as a lease in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases. Service concession arrangements may become more prevalent in the United States as public-sector entities seek alternative ways to provide public services on a more efficient and cost-effective basis. The amendments apply to an operating entity of a service concession arrangement entered into with a public-sector entity grantor when the arrangement meets certain conditions. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to service concession arrangements that exist at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. The modified retrospective approach requires the cumulative effect of applying this Update to arrangements existing at the beginning of the period of adoption to be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance for the annual period of adoption. The amendments are effective for a public business entity for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU will not affect the Company’s financial statements.
	The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
	The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Long-term Contract for Purchase of Electric Power, Description

The construction period of the CDQ Project is expected to be fifteen (15) months from the effective date of the Agreement. Baoliyuan will start to pay an energy saving fee from the date when the WHPG station passes the required 72 hour test run. The term of payment is for twenty (20) years and Baoliyuan shall pay an energy saving fee at RMB 0.7 ($0.114) per kilowatt hour (including tax) for the power generated from the system, from which Xian TCH shall take 92.86% and Baoliyuan shall take 7.14% as parties to share the energy saving benefits. During the term of the contract the energy saving fee shall be adjusted at the same percentage as the change of local grid electricity price. Baoliyuan shall provide guarantees to ensure it will fulfill its obligations under the Agreement. Upon the completion of the term, Xian TCH will transfer the systems to Baoliyuan at RMB 1

The term of the Agreements is for twenty (20) years. The first 800 million watt hours generated by the Chengli Project will be charged at RMB 0.42 ($0.068) per kilowatt hour (excluding tax); thereafter, the energy saving fee will be RMB 0.20 ($0.036) per kilowatt hour (excluding tax). The operating time shall be based upon an average 8,000 hours annually. If the operating time is less than 8,000 hours per year due to a reason attributable to Chengli, then time charged shall be 8,000 hours a year, and if it is less than 8,000 hours due to a reason attributable to Zhonghong, then it shall be charged at actual operating hours. The construction of the Chengli Project is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of 2015. When operations begin, Chengli shall ensure its coking production line works properly and that working hours for the CDQ system are at least 8,000 hours per year, and Zhonghong shall ensure that working hours and the CDQ WHPG system will be at least 7,200 hours per year.

Upon completion of the Tianyu Project, Zhonghong will charge Tianyu an energy saving service fee of RMB 0.534 ($0.087) per kilowatt hour (excluding tax). The operating time will be based upon an average 8,000 hours annually for each of Xuzhou Tian'an and Xuzhou Huayu. If the operating time is less than 8,000 hours per year due to a reason attributable to Tianyu, then time charged will be 8,000 hours a year. The term of the Tianyu Agreement is twenty (20) years. The construction of the Tianyu Project is anticipated to be completed between the end of 2015 and the middle of 2016. Tianyu will provide the land for the CDQ systems and CDQ WHPG systems for free. Tianyu also guarantees that it will purchase all of the power generated by the CDQ WHPG systems

The construction period of the Project is expected to be eighteen (18) months from the date when conditions are ready for construction to begin. Zhongtai will start to pay an energy saving service fee from the date when the WHPG station passes the required 72 hour test run. The term of payment is for twenty (20) years. For the first ten (10) years of the term, Zhongtai shall pay an energy saving service fee at RMB 0.534 ($0.089) per kilowatt hour (including value added tax) for the power generated from the system. For the second ten (10) years of the term, Zhongtai shall pay an energy saving service fee at RMB 0.402 ($0.067) per kilowatt hour (including value added tax). During the term of the contract the energy saving service fee shall be adjusted at the same percentage as the change of local grid electricity price. Zhongtai shall also pay an energy saving service fee for the steam supplied by Xian TCH at RMB 100 ($16.67) per ton (including value added tax). Zhongtai and its parent company will provide guarantees to ensure Zhongtai will fulfill its obligations under the Agreement. Upon the completion of the term, Xian TCH will transfer the systems to Zhongtai at RMB 1 ($0.16). Zhongtai shall provide waste heat to the systems for no less than 8,000 hours per year and waste gas volume no less than 150,000 Nm3 per hour with a temperature no less than 950C. If these requirements are not met, the term of the Agreement will be extended accordingly. If Zhongtai wants to terminate the Zhongtai Agreement early, it shall provide Xian TCH a 60 day notice and pay the termination fee and compensation for the damages to Xian TCH according to the following formula: 1) if it is less than five (5) years into the term when Zhongtai requests termination, Zhongtai shall pay: Xian TCHs total investment amount plus Xian TCHs annual investment return times five (5) years minus the years in which the system has already operated); or 2) if it is more than five (5) years into the term when Zhongtai requests the termination, Zhongtai shall pay: Xian TCHs total investment amount minus total amortization cost (the amortization period is ten (10) years)
