Wind leads at 24.5 GW but post-sunset demand of 62.9 GW forces heavy thermal dispatch and 15.2 GW net imports.

Wind onshore 18.5 GW dominates the right half and background as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling hills into the distance, their rotors turning in moderate wind; wind offshore 6.0 GW appears as a cluster of larger turbines on the far-right horizon above a dark river; brown coal 6.8 GW occupies the left foreground as a massive lignite power station with four hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white-grey steam plumes lit from below by sodium lamps; natural gas 6.1 GW sits centre-left as two compact CCGT units with tall single exhaust stacks venting thin heat shimmer; hard coal 4.0 GW appears centre-right as a smaller coal plant with a single rectangular boiler house and a tall chimney with red aviation lights; biomass 4.4 GW is rendered as a mid-ground industrial facility with cylindrical wood-pellet silos and a modest smokestack; hydro 1.7 GW appears as a concrete dam structure in a valley in the middle distance with spillway lights reflecting on dark water; solar 0.1 GW is absent — no panels visible. Night scene at 20:00 in April: sky is completely dark, deep navy-black, heavy 92% cloud cover blocks all stars, no twilight remains. Temperature 6.1°C: early spring vegetation, bare branches on some trees, fresh green buds on others, damp cool atmosphere. The industrial facilities glow orange-yellow under sodium streetlights and security floodlights; cooling tower steam is dramatically lit from below, billowing upward into the oppressive dark overcast. The atmosphere is heavy and brooding, reflecting the high 127.2 EUR/MWh price — a dense, weighty sky pressing down on the landscape. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters such as Caspar David Friedrich crossed with industrial realism, rich saturated colour palette of deep blues, warm industrial oranges, grey-white steam, visible confident brushwork, atmospheric depth with aerial perspective, meticulous engineering accuracy on all turbine nacelles, cooling tower geometry, CCGT stacks.
