The invention relates to a wind turbine comprising power production component comprising at least a generator of the wind turbine and an electric assembly for electrically connecting the power production component and at least one further wind turbine with an electric export cable, preferably an electric subsea cable, being connectable to a power grid. The electric assembly in turn comprises: a switchgear operated on a first lower voltage level for switching and collecting input power from the power production component and/or from the at least one further wind turbine, providing collective power on a first lower voltage level; a transformer for transforming, from a primary side of a transformer, the collective power from the switchgear to a second higher voltage level of the export cable connected to a secondary side of the transformer, and input and/or output interface, located at the secondary side of the transformer and operating on the second higher voltage level, for providing an interconnection link to a further wind turbine that is arranged to receive and/or provide power via the interconnection link on the second higher voltage level.
