Wind and overcast solar together supply 80% of German demand; brown coal and gas cover the narrow remainder.

Solar 23.0 GW dominates the foreground as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across flat farmland under a uniformly overcast pewter-grey sky, their surfaces reflecting dull diffuse light; wind onshore 18.2 GW fills the middle ground as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice and tubular towers, rotors spinning visibly in a 20 km/h breeze, receding into atmospheric haze; wind offshore 2.8 GW appears as a smaller cluster of turbines on the far horizon suggesting a distant North Sea coastline; brown coal 7.3 GW occupies the left background as a major lignite power station with three massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes that merge into the overcast ceiling; natural gas 2.7 GW sits as a compact CCGT plant with a single tall exhaust stack and thin heat shimmer beside the coal station; hard coal 2.0 GW appears as a smaller conventional plant with a rectangular boiler house and single smokestack with faint grey exhaust; biomass 3.9 GW is rendered as a modest wood-clad generating facility with a rounded dome and small chimney amid stacked timber; hydro 1.7 GW shows as a concrete run-of-river weir with foaming spillway on a small river cutting through the scene. Full June daytime lighting at 10:00 but entirely diffused by total cloud cover — no shadows, flat even illumination, a slightly oppressive heavy atmosphere reflecting the elevated electricity price. Lush green early-summer vegetation, wildflowers in meadow margins, cool 14°C air suggested by figures in light jackets. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich saturated colour, visible confident brushwork, atmospheric depth and aerial perspective — yet with meticulous technical accuracy on every turbine nacelle, every PV cell grid line, every cooling tower's parabolic curve. The composition reads as a grand panoramic industrial landscape masterwork. No text, no labels.
