Convert light fixture to electrical outlet

Remodeling my laundry room and removed a cabinet from the wall that had undercabinet lighting attached to it.

Now that the cabinet is removed I have no need for the lighting (there's a large white wire that powers that light from a hole in the wall).

How easy would it be to convert this into an electrical outlet? Preferably one that will be used for a washing machine?

Or should I get an electrician to do it? If so, how much would something like this cost?

Please contact an trusted Pro electrician in your area. I would assume it would not cost more than $300 approximately. Jeff with all in renovations
