Wind leads at 18.4 GW but absent solar and high evening demand drive imports and elevated prices.

Wind onshore 16.1 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white tubular towers and aerodynamic nacelles stretching across rolling farmland into the distance; brown coal 7.3 GW occupies the far left as three massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes, flanked by conveyor belts and lignite stockpiles; natural gas 7.2 GW fills the centre-left as a cluster of compact CCGT power blocks with tall slim exhaust stacks venting thin heat shimmer; hard coal 4.3 GW appears just right of centre as a smaller coal-fired station with a single rectangular boiler house and a squat chimney with faint grey smoke; biomass 4.0 GW is rendered as a mid-ground industrial facility with cylindrical silos, wood-chip piles, and a modest stack with pale exhaust; wind offshore 2.3 GW is suggested by a faint line of turbines on the far horizon; hydro 1.0 GW appears as a small dam structure with water glinting faintly in the foreground. The scene is set at 22:00 on a summer night — the sky is completely black with scattered stars, no twilight glow whatsoever, a waning crescent moon low on the horizon providing almost no illumination. All structures are lit by warm sodium-orange industrial floodlights and scattered white LED security lights casting sharp shadows. The air feels heavy and oppressive, suggesting high electricity prices — a faint haze or humid mist clings to the ground between the cooling towers. Vegetation is lush midsummer green, barely visible in the artificial light, with tall grass and mature deciduous trees. Temperature is warm, conveyed by open windows in a distant village with glowing amber interiors. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters such as Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen, with rich colour, visible impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between industrial light and surrounding darkness, atmospheric depth and subtle sfumato in the distance, meticulous engineering accuracy in every turbine nacelle, cooling tower profile, and exhaust stack.
