Overcast skies limit solar to 22.5 GW; brown coal at 7.2 GW and 6.3 GW net imports close the gap.

Solar 22.5 GW dominates the centre-right as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across flat farmland under a uniformly overcast sky, their surfaces reflecting dull grey light; brown coal 7.2 GW occupies the left foreground as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes rising into the heavy cloud ceiling, with adjacent open-pit conveyor belts; wind onshore 8.1 GW appears as rows of tall three-blade turbines with white nacelles and lattice-section towers scattered across rolling green hills in the mid-ground, blades turning slowly in light wind; wind offshore 4.9 GW is visible on the far-right horizon as a line of turbines rising from a grey North Sea glimpsed through a gap in the terrain; natural gas 4.3 GW sits centre-left as two compact CCGT plants with slim exhaust stacks and modest heat shimmer; hard coal 2.1 GW appears as a single dark industrial facility with a rectangular chimney and coal stockpile beside the brown coal complex; biomass 4.0 GW is rendered as a wood-clad biogas plant with a green dome fermenter and short stack near the wind turbines; hydro 1.8 GW shows as a small concrete run-of-river weir with visible water flow in the lower-left corner. Full June daytime at 09:00 but entirely diffuse light, no shadows, sky a flat heavy blanket of 100% stratiform cloud in tones of slate and silver pressing down oppressively — reflecting the 104.6 EUR/MWh price tension. Temperature 12.8°C: lush green early-summer vegetation, damp grass, cool muted palette. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape masters — rich layered colour, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric depth and sfumato in the cloud layer — yet with meticulous engineering accuracy for every turbine nacelle, PV module busbar, cooling tower shell, and smokestack.
