Strong overnight wind supplies 67% of generation but net imports of 3.7 GW are needed to meet demand.

Wind onshore 23.0 GW dominates the right two-thirds of the scene as vast ranks of three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling hills into the darkness, rotors spinning visibly in strong wind; wind offshore 5.8 GW appears as a distant cluster of larger turbines on the far-right horizon above a dark sea; brown coal 4.5 GW occupies the left background as two massive hyperbolic cooling towers with pale steam plumes rising against the black sky, lit from below by orange sodium lamps; biomass 4.0 GW sits in the left-centre as a mid-sized industrial plant with a wood-chip conveyor and a single squat smokestack emitting thin grey exhaust, illuminated by floodlights; natural gas 2.9 GW appears centre-left as a compact CCGT facility with a tall slender exhaust stack and warm-lit control building; hydro 1.6 GW is suggested by a small concrete dam structure in the mid-ground with water glinting faintly under facility lights; hard coal 0.9 GW is a smaller power station partially visible behind the gas plant with a single cooling tower. Night scene at 23:00 — completely dark sky, deep black-navy overhead, 100% cloud cover so no stars or moon visible, only a heavy oppressive overcast ceiling reflecting faint industrial glow. All facilities lit by sodium-orange and white industrial floodlights casting pools of warm light on wet ground. Temperature 12.8°C: lush green June vegetation on hillsides, grass slightly damp. Strong wind at 20.8 km/h animates tree branches and grass, turbine blades in rapid motion, steam plumes shearing sideways from cooling towers. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive — thick humid clouds pressing low, conveying a sense of expensive, strained energy. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich impasto brushwork, atmospheric chiaroscuro depth, dramatic contrast between industrial orange light and surrounding darkness — with meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower curvature, and exhaust stack detail.
