Wind leads at 12.3 GW but 18.3 GW net imports fill the gap as solar is absent and thermal plants run hard.

Wind onshore 12.3 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across dark rolling hills, rotors visibly turning in strong wind; brown coal 8.1 GW occupies the left quarter as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes lit from below by orange sodium lamps; natural gas 5.5 GW appears centre-left as a compact CCGT facility with tall single exhaust stacks venting thin heat shimmer, illuminated by industrial floodlights; hard coal 3.5 GW sits behind the gas plant as a smaller coal station with a single large smokestack and conveyor infrastructure; biomass 4.1 GW is rendered as a mid-sized plant with a wood-chip silo and modest steam outlet near the centre; hydro 1.8 GW appears as a small dam with spillway visible in the mid-ground; wind offshore 1.4 GW is suggested by a faint cluster of red aviation warning lights on the distant dark horizon line. The sky is completely dark, a deep black-navy vault with 100% cloud cover — no stars, no moon, no twilight glow — a heavy overcast night ceiling pressing down oppressively. The only light sources are sodium-orange and white-blue industrial lighting on the power stations, red blinking nacelle lights on the turbines, and faint window glow from a small town nestled in the valley. Lush green summer vegetation — full-canopy deciduous trees, tall grass — is barely visible in the artificial light spillover, suggesting warm 18–19°C June air. The atmosphere is heavy, humid, and oppressive, conveying the weight of a high-price hour. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters such as Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen — rich impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between industrial light and surrounding darkness, atmospheric depth with layered receding planes, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower fluting, and exhaust stack. The mood is sublime industrial nocturne. No text, no labels.
