Overcast solar at 23 GW leads generation, but high thermal dispatch and net imports are needed to meet 62 GW demand.

Solar 23.0 GW dominates the centre-right as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across gently rolling farmland, angled toward a bright but completely overcast white-grey sky with no visible sun disc; brown coal 9.0 GW occupies the left background as a massive lignite power station complex with three hyperbolic concrete cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes rising into the heavy cloud layer; natural gas 5.2 GW appears centre-left as a compact modern CCGT plant with twin cylindrical exhaust stacks releasing thin transparent heat shimmer; hard coal 4.0 GW sits behind the gas plant as a square industrial building with a single tall rectangular chimney and coal conveyor belts; biomass 3.9 GW is rendered as a modest wood-clad combined heat and power plant with a rounded silo and low stack near a treeline; wind onshore 3.3 GW shows a sparse line of five modern three-blade turbines on distant hills with rotors turning slowly in light breeze; hydro 1.8 GW appears as a small concrete dam with spillway in a forested valley at far right; wind offshore 0.4 GW is hinted at by tiny turbine silhouettes on a misty horizon line. Full diffuse daytime illumination at 10:00 — bright but flat, no shadows, no direct sunlight, entirely overcast sky pressing down with heavy uniform grey-white cloud cover creating an oppressive, high-price atmosphere. Temperature 19°C: lush green summer foliage on deciduous trees, tall grass between solar rows. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich, layered colour with visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric aerial perspective fading distant cooling towers into mist, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, every PV module edge, every rivet on the coal conveyor. The scene reads as a panoramic industrial landscape masterwork with compositional weight distributed proportionally to each source's gigawatt share. No text, no labels.
