Wind leads at 19 GW but 20 GW net imports needed as evening demand peaks without solar.

Wind onshore 15.6 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling green hills, rotors spinning moderately in the breeze. Brown coal 9.0 GW occupies the left quarter as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white-grey steam plumes rising into the dark sky, lit from below by orange sodium lights of the power plant complex. Wind offshore 3.4 GW appears in the far background-right as a line of turbines standing in a dark sea barely visible on the horizon. Hard coal 3.2 GW sits left-of-centre as a smaller industrial facility with a tall rectangular stack and conveyor belts, illuminated by harsh floodlights. Biomass 3.3 GW is rendered as a mid-ground cluster of compact wood-chip-burning plants with modest chimneys and warm amber-lit buildings. Natural gas 2.2 GW appears as a compact CCGT unit centre-left with a single sleek exhaust stack emitting a thin heat shimmer, visible under industrial lighting. Hydro 0.7 GW is a small dam structure in the far middle distance with a faint white water cascade. No solar panels anywhere — it is fully night. The sky is deep black-navy with no twilight, no glow on the horizon; scattered clouds at 55% cover are faintly visible only where industrial light catches them from below. The late-summer landscape has lush dark-green deciduous trees with full canopies, warm humid air suggested by slight haze around the cooling tower plumes. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive, reflecting a 233 EUR/MWh price — thick humid air pressing down, an almost brooding industrial density to the scene. Rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painting — rich saturated colour, visible impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between the black sky and the orange-lit industrial facilities, atmospheric depth with haze softening distant turbines. Meticulous engineering accuracy: three-blade rotors with visible nacelles, hyperbolic concrete cooling tower geometry, aluminium-clad CCGT housings. The scene feels monumental, a masterwork of industrial night landscape. No text, no labels.
