Turkey signs an agreement with Canada to explore a new nuclear power plant.
Canada's Atkins Reales has signed an agreement with Turkish nuclear energy company TUNAS to explore a potential six-reactor, 4.5 gigawatt nuclear power plant in Turkey, with a feasibility study expected in late 2027 and engineering work slated for completion in 2028.
The project is part of Ankara's efforts to expand nuclear capacity beyond the Russian-built Akoyo plant, with Sinop and the Thrace region considered potential sites. Turkey aims to increase nuclear capacity to 10 gigawatts by 2040, and meet 11% of electricity demand.
