Abstract: NEOM City in Saudi Arabia is planned to be the first environmentally friendly city in
the world that is powered by renewable energy sources minimizing CO2 emissions to reduce the
e ect of global warming according to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. In recent years, Saudi Arabia
has had a problem with water scarcity. The main factors a ecting water security are unequal water
distribution, wrong use of water resources and using bad or less ecient irrigation techniques.
This paper is aimed to provide a detailed feasibility and techno-economic evaluation of using several
scenarios of a stand-alone hybrid renewable energy system to satisfy the electrical energy needs for
an environmentally friendly seawater desalination plant which feeds 150 m
