Wind leads at 14.8 GW combined but 31.4 GW net imports needed as solar fades and evening demand peaks.

Wind onshore 12.2 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of large three-blade turbines on lattice and tubular steel towers stretching across rolling green late-summer hills, blades visibly turning in moderate wind; wind offshore 2.6 GW appears in the far distance as a cluster of offshore turbines barely visible on a hazy horizon line beyond a river valley; brown coal 5.3 GW occupies the left foreground as three massive hyperbolic cooling towers with heavy white-grey steam plumes drifting eastward, beside open-pit excavation terraces in ochre and brown earth; hard coal 2.1 GW sits just right of the lignite complex as a single large stack emitting a thinner grey plume beside a conveyor belt and coal bunker; biomass 3.4 GW appears as a mid-ground cluster of modest industrial buildings with wooden chip storage piles and low cylindrical digesters with small exhaust vents releasing faint vapour; natural gas 1.2 GW is rendered as a compact CCGT unit with a single tall polished exhaust stack and slim vapour trail, positioned between the coal complex and the wind turbines; hydro 0.8 GW is visible as a small dam and spillway in a wooded side valley at far right. Time is 18:00 dusk in early September — the sky is a deep gradient from warm orange-red at the low western horizon fading through amber to darkening steel-blue overhead, with broken clouds at 52 percent cover catching the last copper light. The atmosphere feels heavy, oppressive, almost electric, reflecting extreme electricity prices — the air is thick and hazy from 27.4 °C summer heat, vegetation is lush dark green but slightly wilted. High-voltage transmission pylons and cables cross the mid-ground, symbolising the massive power flows arriving from beyond the frame. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — Caspar David Friedrich meets industrial sublime — rich impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro, atmospheric aerial perspective with depth haze, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower flute, and smokestack.
