Wind leads at 15.6 GW but 22.7 GW net imports needed as solar is absent and evening demand peaks.

Wind onshore 10.5 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white tubular towers and nacelles stretching across rolling green-brown spring hills; wind offshore 5.1 GW appears in the far right background as a line of turbines standing in a dark sea glimpsed through a gap in the terrain; biomass 4.8 GW occupies the centre-right as a cluster of industrial biomass plants with rectangular stacks emitting thin white exhaust; brown coal 3.6 GW fills the left portion as two massive hyperbolic concrete cooling towers releasing heavy steam plumes lit from below by sodium-orange industrial lighting; natural gas 3.2 GW appears centre-left as a compact CCGT plant with a single tall exhaust stack and visible heat shimmer; hard coal 1.1 GW is a smaller coal plant with a single square stack behind the brown coal complex; hydro 1.1 GW is a small dam and powerhouse visible in a valley at far left. Time is 20:00 in early April — the sky is fully dark, deep navy-black, no twilight glow remains, heavy 93% overcast clouds faintly visible only where industrial light catches them from below. No solar panels anywhere, no sunlight. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive, reflecting a high electricity price — thick low clouds press down on the landscape. Spring vegetation is emerging: pale green grass, budding deciduous trees at 12.7°C. Moderate wind at 15.7 km/h animates the turbine blades and bends young branches. Sodium streetlights cast amber pools along a road in the foreground; factory windows glow warmly. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich impasto brushwork, deep atmospheric chiaroscuro, dramatic contrast between the warm industrial glow and the cold dark sky — yet with meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower, and exhaust stack.
