Solar leads at 15.7 GW but 17.4 GW net imports are needed as evening demand of 54.6 GW outpaces domestic supply.

Solar 15.7 GW dominates the right half of the canvas as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels angled toward a low, cloud-filtered sun; wind onshore 5.8 GW appears as a mid-ground ridge of three-blade turbines on lattice towers with blades in moderate rotation; wind offshore 1.3 GW is glimpsed as a distant cluster of tall monopile turbines on a hazy horizon sea; brown coal 4.2 GW occupies the left foreground as two massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes beside a lignite conveyor belt and open-pit edge; natural gas 3.3 GW sits center-left as a compact CCGT plant with a single tall exhaust stack venting translucent heat shimmer; biomass 3.8 GW appears as a mid-sized industrial facility with a rounded wood-chip silo and low chimney trailing pale smoke; hydro 1.9 GW is shown as a concrete dam spillway in a forested valley at the far left; hard coal 1.1 GW is a smaller traditional coal plant with a single square stack behind the gas facility. Lighting: dusk at 18:00 Berlin time — rapidly fading orange-red glow along the lower horizon, the sky above deepening from salmon to slate blue, long shadows stretching across the PV fields. Atmosphere: heavy, oppressive overcast pressing down with 77% cloud cover, conveying the tension of a 128.9 EUR/MWh price; warm 17.9°C early-summer air, lush green deciduous trees and tall grass around the installations, wildflowers at field margins. High-voltage transmission lines on steel pylons cross the entire scene from left to right, symbolizing import flows. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape masters — Caspar David Friedrich's atmospheric depth merged with Adolph Menzel's industrial precision — rich warm and cool colour contrasts, visible confident brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between the glowing horizon and the darkening sky above. Every technology rendered with meticulous engineering accuracy: turbine nacelles, rotor hubs, panel junction boxes, cooling tower fluting, conveyor structures. No text, no labels.
