Wind leads at 13.5 GW but heavy imports (12.1 GW) and coal backstop a high-demand late-May night.

Wind onshore 11.6 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice and tubular towers stretching across rolling hills, their red aviation lights blinking against the black sky; brown coal 6.6 GW occupies the left quarter as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick pale steam plumes lit from below by amber sodium lamps; natural gas 5.5 GW appears centre-left as a compact CCGT facility with tall single exhaust stacks and a faintly glowing turbine hall; hard coal 3.1 GW sits behind the gas plant as a smaller coal station with a single large chimney trailing white smoke; biomass 4.1 GW is rendered as a mid-ground cluster of industrial biogas plants with cylindrical digesters and small stacks, warmly lit by yellow facility lights; wind offshore 1.9 GW is suggested by a distant row of turbines on the far-right horizon near a faintly visible coastline; hydro 1.8 GW appears as a small dam structure in the lower foreground with water cascading under floodlights. The sky is completely dark, deep navy-black, no twilight, no moon, clear with zero cloud cover — stars visible overhead. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive despite the clear sky, conveying the high electricity price: a dense, brooding stillness. Late-spring vegetation — full-leafed deciduous trees, green meadow grass — is barely visible in the artificial light. Moderate wind animates the turbine blades and ripples through grass. Sodium-orange streetlights line a road in the foreground. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich colour, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric depth — with meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower, CCGT stack, and biogas digester.
