Wind leads at 17.1 GW but heavy cloud and 14.8 GW net imports drive prices to 136.8 EUR/MWh.

Wind onshore 14.6 GW dominates the right half and background as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling green hills, rotors spinning in moderate wind; wind offshore 2.5 GW appears as a distant cluster of turbines on a grey horizon line at far right. Brown coal 7.9 GW occupies the left foreground as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes rising into the overcast sky. Solar 7.6 GW is rendered as large fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels in the centre-left middle ground, their surfaces dull and reflecting only grey cloud light, no sun glint. Natural gas 3.8 GW appears as two compact CCGT plants with tall single exhaust stacks and small vapour trails, placed centre-left behind the solar field. Hard coal 3.2 GW is a smaller conventional power station with rectangular chimneys and thin smoke, positioned left of centre. Biomass 3.9 GW is a cluster of modest industrial buildings with wood-chip silos and short stacks emitting faint haze, placed in the middle ground between the coal and wind zones. Hydro 1.7 GW appears as a concrete dam with spillway on a river in the left middle distance. Lighting is early dawn at 07:00 in June: the sky is a deep blue-grey wash transitioning to pale silver near the eastern horizon, no direct sunlight visible, everything lit by diffuse pre-dawn glow filtered through heavy 86% overcast. The atmosphere is thick, oppressive, hazy — reflecting the high electricity price — with low clouds pressing down on the cooling towers. Vegetation is lush early-summer green, grass damp with morning dew, temperature around 12°C suggesting slight mist in valleys. Rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich layered colour, visible confident brushwork, deep atmospheric perspective — with meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, panel frame, cooling tower curve, and exhaust stack.
