Solar leads at 19.7 GW but fading evening output and high demand drive coal, gas, and net imports.

Solar 19.7 GW dominates the right half of the scene as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across gentle green hillsides, their surfaces catching the last warm light; brown coal 7.3 GW occupies the left foreground as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white-grey steam plumes rising into the sky; wind onshore 5.6 GW appears as a line of modern three-blade turbines on ridgelines in the middle distance, blades turning slowly in light breeze; hard coal 3.1 GW is rendered as a coal-fired power station with tall rectangular stacks and thin dark exhaust behind the cooling towers; natural gas 2.4 GW sits as a compact CCGT plant with a single polished exhaust stack and clean heat shimmer to the left of centre; biomass 3.8 GW appears as a mid-sized industrial facility with a rounded silo and short chimney releasing pale vapour in the centre-left; hydro 1.4 GW is a small concrete dam and reservoir visible in a valley in the far middle distance; wind offshore 1.2 GW is faintly visible as a row of turbines on the far horizon line over a distant sea glimpse. The sky is a dusk scene at 18:00 in July — the sun is low in the west, casting a warm orange-gold glow along the lower horizon, with the upper sky transitioning from pale blue to deeper blue-grey, partly veiled by broken cumulus clouds covering roughly two-thirds of the sky, some edges lit golden by the low sun. The atmosphere feels heavy and somewhat oppressive, with haze thickening in the valleys. Vegetation is lush midsummer green — tall grasses, full deciduous trees, wildflowers. Temperature is mild and warm. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters such as Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen — rich saturated colour, visible textured brushwork, dramatic atmospheric depth and chiaroscuro, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, every PV cell grid-line, every cooling tower's parabolic curvature, every exhaust stack's riveted steel. The scene is a grand panoramic industrial landscape masterwork. No text, no labels.
