Solar (21.9 GW) and wind (11.8 GW) dominate but 12.9 GW net imports fill a persistent generation gap.

Solar 21.9 GW dominates the right half of the scene as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching toward the horizon, catching faint diffuse light; wind onshore 10.1 GW fills the centre-right as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice and tubular towers with nacelles slowly turning in moderate wind; wind offshore 1.7 GW appears as a distant cluster of turbines on a hazy horizon line; brown coal 3.9 GW occupies the left foreground as a lignite power station with two massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes; biomass 3.6 GW sits behind the coal plant as a mid-sized facility with a rounded silo and a single smokestack with thin grey exhaust; natural gas 2.2 GW appears as a compact CCGT plant with a single tall exhaust stack and a modest steam plume, placed left of centre; hydro 1.9 GW is a concrete dam built into a hillside at the far left with water cascading through spillways; hard coal 0.6 GW is a small single-stack power station partially hidden behind the lignite complex. The sky is 98% overcast with a thick heavy ceiling of grey stratocumulus, oppressive and dense, reflecting the high electricity price; the lower western horizon glows with a dim orange-red band of fading dusk light at 17:00, the sky above deepening from slate grey to blue-grey. Temperature is a mild 16.6°C in early summer; trees and meadows around the solar field are lush deep green, wildflowers blooming, grass slightly bending in 12.6 km/h wind. Direct radiation is weak, the panels reflecting only pale silvery light rather than bright sunbeams. Atmosphere feels heavy, humid, pressing. Rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — Caspar David Friedrich meets industrial sublime — rich saturated colour, visible thick brushwork, dramatic atmospheric depth and chiaroscuro, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, every PV cell edge, every cooling tower's ribbed concrete surface.
