Wind and diffuse solar lead at 75% renewables, but full overcast and 4 GW net imports keep prices elevated.

Wind onshore 17.5 GW dominates the right half of the canvas as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white tubular towers and detailed nacelles stretching across rolling green hills, their blades turning steadily in moderate wind. Solar 17.9 GW fills the centre-right foreground as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels on flat farmland, their surfaces reflecting only the flat grey light of a completely overcast sky — no direct sun visible anywhere. Brown coal 7.6 GW occupies the left third as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic concrete cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes that merge with the low cloud ceiling. Natural gas 4.0 GW appears as a pair of compact CCGT units with tall single exhaust stacks and visible heat shimmer, positioned centre-left. Biomass 4.0 GW is rendered as a mid-sized wood-chip plant with a squat industrial chimney and stacked timber beside it, between the gas plant and the coal station. Hard coal 2.5 GW shows as a smaller coal plant with a rectangular boiler house and conveyor belt, tucked behind the lignite complex. Wind offshore 2.9 GW is visible in the far background as a line of turbines standing in a grey North Sea horizon strip. Hydro 1.7 GW appears as a small concrete dam and spillway in a valley on the far right. The sky is a uniform heavy blanket of 100% stratus cloud at 14°C, no blue patches, no sun disc, full diffuse daytime brightness consistent with 09:00 in June — light is cool and shadowless. The atmosphere feels oppressive and weighty, reflecting the high electricity price. Vegetation is lush early-summer green — tall grass, leafy deciduous trees. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting with rich colour, visible impasto brushwork, and deep atmospheric perspective, yet every piece of engineering — turbine rotors, PV cell grids, cooling tower rebar textures, gas turbine exhaust geometry — is rendered with meticulous technical accuracy.
