Onshore wind leads at 10.1 GW but full overcast and 8.9 GW net imports keep brown coal and prices elevated.

Wind onshore 10.1 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling green hills, blades turning in moderate wind; brown coal 7.4 GW occupies the left quarter as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes into the heavy sky; solar 4.4 GW appears as a mid-ground field of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels reflecting only dull grey light, no sunshine; biomass 3.6 GW shown as a compact wood-clad combined heat and power plant with a modest smokestack and woodchip storage silos in the centre-left; natural gas 2.4 GW rendered as a small modern CCGT facility with a single tall exhaust stack and slim vapour trail, placed between the lignite station and the biomass plant; hard coal 2.1 GW as a dark industrial coal plant with a rectangular stack and conveyor belt in the far left background; hydro 1.5 GW as a small concrete dam with spillway visible in a river valley in the far right background; wind offshore 0.8 GW suggested by a handful of distant turbines on the far horizon line. Time of day is 06:00 pre-dawn in late June: the sky is a deep blue-grey with the faintest pale luminescence along the eastern horizon, no direct sunlight, no warm colours — only cold diffuse twilight. Cloud cover is total, a low oppressive overcast ceiling pressing down on the landscape, giving a heavy, brooding atmosphere consistent with high electricity prices. Vegetation is lush midsummer green — tall grasses, leafy deciduous trees, wildflowers — in warm 22°C air with slight haze. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters such as Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen, with rich colour, visible confident brushwork, atmospheric depth and chiaroscuro. Each energy technology rendered with meticulous engineering accuracy — turbine nacelles, rotor hubs, cooling tower parabolic profiles, PV cell grid patterns, conveyor gantries. The mood is solemn, industrial, grand. No text, no labels, no human figures prominent.
