Solar dominates at 23.1 GW under full overcast, while 6.4 GW brown coal and net imports fill the residual gap.

Solar 23.1 GW dominates the scene as an enormous field of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across the right half and centre of the composition, their glass surfaces reflecting a flat, pale-white overcast sky. Brown coal 6.4 GW occupies the left quarter as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white-grey steam plumes merging into the low cloud ceiling. Natural gas 2.2 GW appears as two compact CCGT plants with slender exhaust stacks emitting thin heat shimmer, positioned just left of centre. Biomass 4.0 GW is rendered as a collection of industrial biogas facilities with cylindrical digesters and small chimneys, nestled between the solar field and the coal plant. Wind onshore 1.9 GW shows as a sparse line of three-blade turbines on a low ridge in the far background, rotors turning slowly. Wind offshore 0.5 GW appears as tiny turbines on the distant horizon line. Hydro 1.8 GW is depicted as a concrete run-of-river dam with water flowing through spillways in the lower-left foreground. Hard coal 0.5 GW is a single small stack with a thin smoke trail at the far left edge. The lighting is full daytime at 08:00 in June but entirely diffuse — a uniform, heavy, 100% cloud cover blankets the sky in layered pearl-grey and slate tones, no direct sunlight, no shadows, no blue sky visible. The atmosphere feels mildly oppressive and warm, consistent with 70.8 EUR/MWh pricing. Lush green summer vegetation — tall grass, leafy deciduous trees in full canopy — fills the foreground, suggesting 20°C warmth. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters such as Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen — rich layered colour, visible confident brushwork, atmospheric depth and sfumato in the cloud masses — but with meticulous modern engineering accuracy in every turbine nacelle, PV cell grid, cooling tower contour, and concrete dam structure.
