Wind leads at 15.1 GW but coal and gas fill the gap; 8.1 GW net imports cover remaining nighttime demand.

Wind onshore 12.8 GW dominates the right half of the canvas as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across dark rolling hills, their red aviation warning lights blinking; wind offshore 2.3 GW appears as a cluster of turbines on the distant horizon over a barely visible sea. Brown coal 6.9 GW occupies the left foreground as massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick steam plumes lit from below by sodium-orange industrial lights; hard coal 5.0 GW sits beside them as a large power station with tall chimneys and conveyor belts, illuminated by floodlights. Natural gas 4.4 GW appears center-left as compact CCGT units with single gleaming exhaust stacks and warm amber lighting. Biomass 4.4 GW is rendered center-right as a medium industrial facility with a wood-chip storage dome and a modest smokestack. Hydro 1.3 GW appears as a small dam structure in the mid-ground valley, water glinting under floodlights. The sky is completely dark, deep navy-black, 100% overcast with no stars and no moon visible, heavy oppressive low cloud ceiling reflecting the orange-amber glow of industrial facilities below. Temperature 7.9°C: early spring bare-branched trees with just the faintest green buds, damp ground. Light wind barely moves the grass. The atmosphere is heavy and brooding, matching the high electricity price. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters—rich impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between the deep darkness and the glowing industrial complexes, atmospheric depth with misty layers between foreground industry and distant wind turbines. Meticulous engineering detail on all turbine nacelles, cooling tower parabolic curves, CCGT stacks, and coal conveyor infrastructure. No text, no labels.
