The company will design, supply and install two 230kV main substations and 104 unitary 36kV compact secondary substations.
Key equipment to be supplied by ABB includes low-loss distribution transformers and a range of medium voltage switchgear.
According to the company, each wind turbine will be fitted with a fully automated unitary substation enabling real-time tracking and operation from a monitoring center in Fortaleza in northeastern Brazil.
ABB substations business head Oleg Aleinikov said that integrating renewable energy sources to the grid helps meet the growing need for electricity and addresses environmental concerns.
