Under the contract, the company will integrate wind farms situated at Rio Grande do Sul state, at the southernmost tip of Brazil.
A consortium led by Alstom will provide a turnkey solution, including two new substations and the expansion of six existing ones.
Alstom will also deliver its products, software and automation technologies as part of the contract. The equipment will be manufactured locally at the Canoas and Itajuba sites.
The project, dubbed Lots A1 & A4 from the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency auction, is expected to start commercial operations in March 2018.
It allows for additional integration of renewable energy in Brazil, enabling the country to better predict its wind energy capacity for the next six years.
Alstom Grid vice president in Latin America Sérgio Gomes said: "The southern region of Brazil has huge wind energy potential and will now be able to fully optimize this alternative energy, ultimately creating diversity in the overall energy mix for over 30 million people."
Alstom has to date completed more than 30 turnkey transmission projects of 230kV and 500kV in Brazil.
