Planned to be built in the northeastern state of Bahia, the Campo Grande plant is claimed to be the largest biomass facility in Brazil.
The contract requires Areva to deliver engineering, procurement and construction services for the plant, which will feature three 50MW modules.
The facility, which is expected to commence operations in 2017, will be fueled with woody biomass.
Areva Renewables CEO Louis-François Durret said: "Awarded as part of the first biomass plant project undertaken in Brazil in recent years, this success illustrates BOLT Energias’ recognition of AREVA’s knowledge in construction and technological expertise.
"This contract will mark the first step of a successful collaboration with our Brazilian partner."
Areva has already constructed 95 biomass plants globally, with a total installed capacity of over 2,500MW.
Bolt Energias, which was established in 2010, focuses on energy generation and trading, structured to operate both in spot and regulated markets.
The company also develops energy efficiency projects and solutions for the power generation market segment.
