Strong onshore wind leads generation but 13.4 GW net imports are needed as solar fades at evening peak demand.

Wind onshore 17.9 GW dominates the right half and background as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling green hills, their rotors visibly turning in moderate wind; brown coal 4.8 GW occupies the left foreground as three large hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white-grey steam plumes rising into the heavy sky; biomass 4.2 GW appears as a mid-sized industrial plant with a tall rectangular stack and wood-chip storage silos just left of centre; wind offshore 3.6 GW is visible in the far distance as a line of turbines standing in a dark sea glimpsed through a gap between hills; natural gas 2.2 GW is rendered as a compact CCGT facility with a single polished exhaust stack and slim vapour trail, positioned centre-left; hard coal 1.8 GW appears as a smaller coal plant with conveyor belts and a modest chimney behind the gas facility; solar 2.1 GW is shown as a small field of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels in the centre-right middle ground, their surfaces dark and unreflective in the fading light; hydro 1.3 GW is a small concrete dam with spillway visible in a valley at far left. The sky is a fully darkened deep navy-to-black summer night sky at 20:00 in Berlin — no twilight glow remains, no sunset colours, stars barely visible through 60 percent cloud cover rendered as heavy grey-purple masses pressing down oppressively to reflect the high electricity price. The landscape is lit only by sodium-orange industrial lighting from the coal and gas plants, warm yellow-white lights on turbine nacelles, and faint glow from a distant town. Summer vegetation is lush — full-canopy deciduous trees, tall grass swaying in 17 km/h wind. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich, dark palette with visible impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between artificial light and deep shadow, atmospheric depth with haze around the cooling tower plumes, meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine blade, every cooling tower curve, every panel frame.
