Onshore wind leads at 24.5 GW under heavy overcast; brown coal and thermal plants supply the remaining baseload.

Wind onshore 24.5 GW dominates the right two-thirds of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade wind turbines with white tubular towers and nacelles receding into atmospheric depth across rolling green-brown late-summer fields. Brown coal 8.6 GW occupies the left background as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white-grey steam plumes merging into the overcast sky. Hard coal 4.6 GW appears as a dark industrial power station with conveyor belts and a tall rectangular stack emitting grey smoke, positioned left of centre. Natural gas 4.6 GW is rendered as a compact CCGT plant with a single gleaming exhaust stack and low-profile turbine hall, placed in the centre-left middle ground. Biomass 4.0 GW appears as a modest wood-clad generation facility with a small rounded smokestack near the centre. Wind offshore 1.6 GW is suggested by a distant line of turbines on a grey horizon to the far right. Hydro 1.2 GW is hinted by a small dam structure with falling water in the right foreground valley. No solar panels anywhere — the sky is a heavy, oppressive blanket of 91% cloud cover in layered slate-grey and pewter tones, diffuse daylight at 10 AM without visible sun, muted and flat illumination. Temperature 16°C: early-autumn vegetation, some leaves beginning to yellow, damp-looking meadows. Wind at 15 km/h bends grasses and gives the turbine blades visible rotational blur. The high electricity price of 119.8 EUR/MWh is conveyed through a dense, weighty atmosphere pressing down on the landscape. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — Caspar David Friedrich meets industrial realism — rich colour palette of ochres, greys, and muted greens, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric aerial perspective with haze softening distant cooling towers and turbines. Meticulous engineering detail on every technology: lattice tower cross-members, nacelle housings, cooling tower parabolic curves, conveyor gantries. No text, no labels, no human figures prominent.
