This section briefly describes the Chtouka Ait Baha project, introduces the cost of water model (detailed in the Appendix A), gives an overview of the methodology used to calculate the cost of solar electricity and the cost of storage, and finally displays the four main scenarios of power supply retained in this paper. Indeed, as the paper mainly focused on the impact of different power supply options on the competitivity of a large scale desalination plant, the specific consumption of the SWRO (kWh/m 3 ) is first calculated, then the power required (kW) and finally the corresponding energy (kWh) over a given period (a year) are computed. When assessing the impact of the cost of electricity supply on the cost of desalinate water, this paper demonstrates that solar energy is a competitive way to feed large scale reverse osmosis plant today.	./cache/cord-346984-36ryhc58.txt	./txt/cord-346984-36ryhc58.txt
