Wind leads at 14.2 GW but 12.6 GW net imports are needed as zero solar and high baseload demand drive prices up.

Wind onshore 10.4 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers arrayed across dark rolling hills, rotors slowly turning in light breeze; wind offshore 3.8 GW appears as a distant cluster of turbines on the far-right horizon over a faintly visible dark sea; brown coal 5.7 GW occupies the left foreground as three massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white-grey steam plumes lit from below by orange sodium lamps; hard coal 2.4 GW sits left of centre as a smaller coal-fired plant with a tall rectangular chimney stack and visible conveyor infrastructure; biomass 3.9 GW appears centre-left as a mid-sized industrial facility with cylindrical silos and a modest stack venting pale exhaust; natural gas 2.2 GW is rendered centre-right as a compact CCGT plant with a single gleaming exhaust stack and smaller vapour trail; hydro 1.2 GW is suggested by a small dam structure with spillway in the middle distance near a dark river. The sky is completely black to deep navy with 99% cloud cover — no stars, no moon, no twilight glow whatsoever, a fully overcast pre-dawn summer night at 04:00. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive, reflecting the high electricity price. Ground-level illumination comes only from amber and white industrial lighting, sodium streetlamps along a road, and faint glowing windows in a small village nestled between the turbines and the coal plant. Summer vegetation — leafy deciduous trees, tall grass — is barely discernible in the artificial light. The scene is rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters such as Caspar David Friedrich, with rich dark tones, visible impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro from industrial light sources against the void-like sky, and meticulous engineering accuracy in every turbine nacelle, cooling tower curve, and exhaust stack.
