Wind leads at 13.1 GW but 24.3 GW net imports are needed as evening demand far exceeds domestic generation.

Wind onshore 10.0 GW dominates the right half of the canvas as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling green hills; wind offshore 3.1 GW appears as a distant cluster of turbines on a dark sea horizon at far right. Brown coal 6.8 GW occupies the left foreground as three massive hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white-grey steam plumes rising into the darkening sky, beside a sprawling lignite mine. Biomass 4.1 GW sits left-centre as a cluster of industrial wood-chip facilities with short stacks emitting thin pale smoke. Natural gas 3.4 GW appears centre-right as two compact CCGT plants with slender exhaust stacks and faint orange flame tips. Solar 2.3 GW is a small array of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels on a gentle slope in the mid-ground, their surfaces dark and barely reflective in the vanished sunlight. Hard coal 2.2 GW is a single coal plant with a tall chimney and conveyor belt visible centre-left. Hydro 1.8 GW is suggested by a small dam and reservoir nestled in a valley at far left background. The sky is completely dark — deep navy to black — it is 20:00 in June, fully night, no twilight glow remains on the horizon. Sodium-orange streetlights line a small road in the foreground, and warm yellow light glows from windows of scattered farmhouses. The cooling tower steam is lit from below by industrial floodlights casting an eerie orange glow. The atmosphere feels heavy, oppressive, and thick, reflecting a very high electricity price — low clouds hang dense and brooding over the industrial landscape. Temperature is mild at 16.6°C; lush early-summer vegetation, full green deciduous trees, tall grass. Light wind barely stirs the turbine blades. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between the artificial lights and the engulfing darkness, atmospheric depth receding into haze, meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower contour, and panel frame.
