The plant will generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year—enough to help run a nearby desalination facility and supply around 220 homes. That equals the output of two soccer fields of solar panels, but osmotic power keeps running day and night, in any weather.

Using it to run desalination is confusing.

I created a bucket of fresh water using nothing but sea water, a membrane, and a bucket of fresh water.

Fresh water doesn't mean drinkable water, it just means not salt water. The desalination plant produces drinkable water.
