Solar leads at 30.7 GW under full overcast; wind adds 15 GW as modest thermal and imports balance demand.

Solar 30.7 GW dominates the scene as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across the entire right half and centre-right of the composition, their blue-grey surfaces reflecting a uniformly overcast sky. Wind onshore 9.6 GW appears as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice and tubular towers spread across rolling green hills in the centre-left midground, blades turning gently in light wind. Wind offshore 5.4 GW is visible in the far background as a row of tall offshore turbines rising from a grey North Sea horizon. Brown coal 3.5 GW occupies the left foreground as two large hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white steam plumes drifting in still air, beside a lignite power station with conveyor belts and coal bunkers. Natural gas 3.2 GW sits adjacent as a compact CCGT plant with a single tall exhaust stack emitting a thin heat shimmer. Biomass 4.1 GW appears as a cluster of modest industrial buildings with wood-chip silos and a short smokestack near the centre-left. Hydro 1.3 GW is a small concrete run-of-river weir with churning white water at the bottom-left edge. Hard coal 0.9 GW is a single smaller stack barely smoking in the far left. Time is 4 PM on an April afternoon — full diffuse daylight, no direct sun visible, a completely overcast pearl-white sky with no blue anywhere, flat even illumination casting almost no shadows. Temperature is mild at 16°C; vegetation is fresh spring green with budding deciduous trees and new grass. The atmosphere is calm and undramatic, matching the low electricity price. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painting — rich layered colour, visible confident brushwork, atmospheric depth and aerial perspective, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, every PV cell grid pattern, every cooling tower's hyperboloid curvature. The composition feels like a masterwork industrial landscape, luminous and contemplative. No text, no labels.
