Planned to be built on Xingu River, in Brazil’s northern Pará state, the plant will have a capacity of 11,230MW.
The first contract was secured by ELM Consortium, which includes Alstom, Andritz and Voith. The companies will deliver a new turbine and two generators to the hydroelectric site by 2018.
As per the second deal, an Alstom-led consortium with Bardella will deliver hydro mechanical equipment to the plant.
The project’s scope includes 10 provisional stop logs for water intake at Pimental hydropower facility and 18 provisional stop logs for draft tube of Belo Monte plant. The consortium is due to supply the equipment in November 2016.
Alstom Renewable Energies senior vice president for hydro Jacques Hardelay said: "Alstom is honored to be part of the major hydro project in Brazil.
"With this contract, the company reinforces its commitment to lead power technology and offer a renewable and clean energy source to the population."
The Belo Monte facility, which is claimed to be the world’s fourth-largest hydroelectric power plant, is expected to generate enough energy for 60 million people in 16 states. It is planned to be completed in eight years.
