Early solar dominates at 13.2 GW but weak wind and 7.4 GW net imports keep thermal plants and prices elevated.

Solar 13.2 GW dominates the right half of the canvas as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across gentle rolling farmland, catching the first pale oblique light of early morning; brown coal 4.4 GW occupies the left background as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white steam plumes drifting slowly in near-still air; natural gas 4.0 GW appears as two compact CCGT power blocks with tall single exhaust stacks emitting thin heat shimmer, positioned left of centre; biomass 4.2 GW is rendered as a mid-ground industrial plant with a tall rectangular boiler building and wood-chip storage silos beside it; hard coal 2.5 GW shows a single coal plant with a wide chimney and conveyor belt structure at the far left edge; wind onshore 1.7 GW appears as a small group of three-blade turbines on a distant ridge, their rotors barely turning; wind offshore 0.8 GW is suggested by tiny turbines on a hazy horizon line far in the background; hydro 1.4 GW appears as a concrete dam structure nestled in a forested valley at far right. The sky is dawn at 07:00 in late May — deep blue-grey overhead transitioning to a band of pale apricot-peach light along the eastern horizon, no direct sun visible yet, the landscape lit by soft diffuse pre-sunrise glow. The atmosphere feels heavy and slightly oppressive despite the clear sky, reflecting the high electricity price — a faint industrial haze hangs in the valleys. Vegetation is lush late-spring green, wildflowers in meadows, deciduous trees fully leafed. Air is still, no motion in grass or flags. Rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — Caspar David Friedrich meets industrial realism — rich saturated colour, visible confident brushwork, deep atmospheric perspective, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, every panel frame, every cooling tower's parabolic curve.
