Under the contract, Alstom will construct and upgrade four gas-insulated substations (GIS) in Stuttgart city centre and seven turnkey air-insulated substations (AIS) in rural areas, scheduled for completion by 2017.
The company will also supply the necessary electrical equipment to construct and extend the substations and will be responsible for related civil works.
Netze BW managing director of Dr Martin Konermann said: "Due to the ongoing development of renewable energies, we are currently modernising and expanding our distribution networks.
"The use of modern technologies is enhancing the performance and capacity of our networks, increasing security of supply for our customers."
The construction and modernization of the substations is expected to boost power distribution, ensuring a reliable energy supply.
Alstom Grid Germany country sales director Axel Kossmann said: "The orders from Netze BW confirm our leading expertise in turnkey projects, a key facet of Alstom’s contribution to Germany’s energy transition.
"Meanwhile, the current projects represent a yet another milestone in the modernisation of Germany’s electrical distribution networks."
