The latest design upgrade has incorporated several major technological advances made in the past 10 years to GTHTR300. These advances have enabled raising the design basis reactor outlet temperature to 950 $^{circ}$ C and increasing power generating efficiency by nearly 5% point. Further implementation of desalination cogeneration is made through employing a newly-proposed multi-stage flash process. Through efficient waste heat recovery of the reactor gas turbine cycle, a large cost credit is obtained against the conventionally produced water prices. Together, the design upgrade and the cogeneration result in reducing the GTHTR300 cost of electricity to under 2.7 US cent per KWh.
