Wind leads at 15.7 GW but heavy overcast and early hour limit solar, driving 17.7 GW net imports at high prices.

Wind onshore 10.7 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white tubular towers and detailed nacelles stretching across rolling green hills into the misty distance; wind offshore 5.0 GW appears as a line of larger turbines on the far-right horizon above a grey North Sea strip. Brown coal 5.8 GW occupies the left quarter as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes. Biomass 3.9 GW sits left-of-centre as a cluster of industrial biogas facilities with cylindrical digesters and short stacks with faint heat shimmer. Solar 2.8 GW appears as a modest field of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels in the centre-left foreground, their surfaces dull and reflectionless under overcast skies. Hard coal 2.5 GW is rendered as a coal plant with a tall concrete chimney and conveyor belt structure behind the biomass cluster. Natural gas 2.3 GW is a compact CCGT unit with a single tall exhaust stack and visible heat-recovery steam generator beside the coal plant. Hydro 1.2 GW is a small concrete dam with spillway visible in a valley in the far left background. Dawn lighting at 06:00 in July: pale pre-dawn light from the east casts a deep blue-grey illumination across the scene; no direct sunlight visible; the sky is 97% overcast with a thick, heavy, oppressive layer of low stratus clouds pressing down, conveying the tension of high electricity prices. Temperature 15°C: lush midsummer vegetation, deep green grass and full-leafed deciduous trees, but cool morning mist clings to low ground. Moderate wind bends the grass gently. The atmosphere is heavy, moody, and vast. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen — rich, layered colour with visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric perspective with misty depth, Romantic compositional grandeur — yet every turbine nacelle, every cooling tower's parabolic curve, every PV panel frame is rendered with meticulous engineering accuracy.
