Solar leads at 22.6 GW under full overcast; brown coal and gas fill the gap as light winds and tight margins lift prices.

Solar 22.6 GW dominates the centre-right as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across rolling autumn farmland, reflecting only diffuse grey light under a completely overcast sky; brown coal 10.1 GW occupies the left quarter as three massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting dense white steam plumes rising into the heavy cloud layer, with lignite conveyor belts and open-pit mine terraces visible at their base; natural gas 7.6 GW appears as a cluster of compact CCGT plants with tall single exhaust stacks and smaller vapour trails just left of centre; wind onshore 6.9 GW is represented by a row of three-blade turbines with lattice towers on a distant ridge to the right, blades turning slowly in light wind; hard coal 4.1 GW shows as a smaller coal-fired station with a single stack and stockyard near the brown coal complex; biomass 4.3 GW appears as a mid-sized wood-chip plant with a low rounded silo and thin exhaust plume beside the gas units; wind offshore 2.7 GW is suggested by a faint line of turbines on a hazy horizon beyond a coastal inlet at the far right; hydro 0.9 GW appears as a small concrete run-of-river weir in a stream in the foreground. Full daytime at 10:00 but entirely overcast — flat, bright yet shadowless white-grey sky pressing down, no sun disc visible, creating a heavy oppressive atmosphere reflecting the 183 EUR/MWh price. Autumn vegetation: fields of stubble and fading green grass, scattered deciduous trees with leaves turning gold and brown, temperature around 15 °C suggesting light jackets on any figures. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich muted earth tones, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric depth with industrial haze blending into cloud, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, panel frame, and cooling tower shell.
