Wind leads at 18.6 GW but 4.6 GW net imports are needed as coal and gas fill the overnight gap.

Wind onshore 14.9 GW dominates the right half of the canvas as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white tubular towers and aerodynamic nacelles stretching across rolling dark hills; brown coal 6.8 GW occupies the far left as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick steam plumes lit from below by orange sodium lamps; natural gas 5.3 GW appears left of centre as compact CCGT plants with tall slender exhaust stacks and visible heat shimmer; hard coal 3.3 GW sits beside the lignite plant as a smaller coal-fired station with a single squat chimney and conveyor belts; biomass 4.1 GW is rendered as a mid-ground industrial biogas facility with cylindrical digesters and a short stack with a faint flame; wind offshore 3.7 GW is suggested in the distant far right as turbines standing in a dark sea barely visible on the horizon; hydro 1.2 GW appears as a small dam with spillway in a valley at centre-right. The sky is completely black with no twilight or glow—a cold clear April night at 2 AM, stars scattered faintly above but the atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive reflecting a high electricity price. Temperature near freezing: bare early-spring trees with no leaves, frost on grass, breath-visible cold. All artificial lighting is sodium-orange and industrial white. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters—rich dark palette of Prussian blue, burnt umber, and warm amber; thick visible brushwork; dramatic chiaroscuro between the glowing industrial facilities and the enveloping darkness; atmospheric depth with mist clinging to valleys. Meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower reinforcement ribs, and gas-plant pipework. No text, no labels.
