Wind leads at 18 GW but 7 GW net imports needed as nocturnal demand outstrips domestic generation.

Wind onshore 15.8 GW dominates the right half of the canvas as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white lattice towers stretching across rolling dark hills, rotors turning briskly in moderate wind; brown coal 7.6 GW occupies the left quarter as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick pale steam plumes lit from below by orange sodium lamps; natural gas 3.4 GW appears centre-left as two compact CCGT plants with slender single exhaust stacks venting thin heat haze; hard coal 3.1 GW sits adjacent as a blocky coal-fired station with a tall rectangular chimney and conveyor infrastructure; biomass 3.7 GW is rendered centre-right as a mid-sized wood-chip plant with a modest stack and glowing furnace windows; wind offshore 2.2 GW is suggested in the far-right background as a faint row of turbines on a dark horizon line above a barely visible sea; hydro 1.8 GW appears as a small dam spillway in the lower-right foreground with water catching reflected light. Time is 03:00 — completely dark night sky, no twilight, no sky glow, deep black-navy heavens with 98% cloud cover obscuring all stars, heavy overcast pressing low. All illumination comes from artificial sources: sodium-orange streetlights along roads between facilities, incandescent glow from plant windows, aircraft warning lights blinking red atop turbine nacelles and stacks. Temperature is mild at 14°C; early June vegetation — full leafy deciduous trees, tall grass — rendered dark green-black in the night. The atmosphere is heavy, oppressive, humid, reflecting the high electricity price. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between deep shadow and industrial glow, atmospheric depth with misty layers between foreground plant and distant turbine rows, meticulous engineering detail on every nacelle, cooling tower, and exhaust stack.
