<...> Currently, the national average energetic and financial cost of production per cubic meter of desalinating water in Israel is respectively, 3.5 kilowatt hours and US 65¢. The most recent tender was priced at US 52¢ for the Sorek facility (150 MCM/year). On the contrast, some other countries double, even triple the unit price of desalinated water. Despite of low price achieved and continuous technology improvement, sea water desalination is still an energy-intensive process and is related to many highly-concerned environmental problems. Energy is the largest single variable cost for a desalination plant, varying from 1/3 to more than 1/2 the cost of produced water. <...>
