Haci Duran Gokkaya, director general of TETAS, told the A.A correspondent that legal ground is already ready to produce nuclear energy in Turkey and the tender process --which started on March 24th, 2008-- would end on September 24th, 2008.
Four companies are interested in the tender so far and this number could go up to 10-15 before the end of September, Gokkaya said.
"A nuclear power plant costs 10-15 billion USD. Energy production through nuclear means has become more attractive thanks to support by the state," he said.

10-11 billion should be able to buy 3-4 gigawatts worth of nuclear plants.
I looked it up and Turkey produced 150 billion kwh of electrcity last year. Which suggests to me the capacity of their grid is currently around 23 gigawatts.
