Wind (20.6 GW) and solar (12.8 GW) lead generation, but cold morning demand of 65.5 GW forces 9.3 GW net imports.

Wind onshore 13.6 GW dominates the right third of the canvas as dozens of three-blade turbines with white tubular towers stretching across rolling farmland into atmospheric haze; wind offshore 7.0 GW appears as a distant row of tall turbines on the far-right horizon above a grey-blue sea glimpsed through a valley gap; solar 12.8 GW fills the centre-right foreground as vast fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels angled low, catching weak diffuse morning light; brown coal 7.6 GW commands the left quarter with three massive hyperbolic cooling towers releasing thick white steam plumes into the cold air, beside a conveyor belt of dark lignite; natural gas 6.5 GW sits centre-left as two compact CCGT power blocks with tall single exhaust stacks emitting thin heat shimmer; hard coal 3.2 GW appears as a smaller classical coal plant with a single square chimney and coal yard behind the gas units; biomass 4.3 GW is represented by a cluster of biogas domes and a wood-chip CHP plant with a modest stack amid bare-branched trees in the left-centre midground; hydro 1.2 GW is a small run-of-river weir with visible white water on a stream in the lower-left foreground. Time is 08:00 in March — full but low-angle morning daylight, sun barely above the eastern horizon casting long pale golden light across the landscape, sky 75% clear with scattered cumulus clouds drifting. Temperature is 3.2 °C: frost rims the brown stubble fields, bare deciduous trees with no leaves, patches of old snow in shadowed hollows, breath-like mist rising from the river. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive despite the partial sunshine, a leaden quality to the distant sky suggesting the high cost of electricity — a faint amber-grey haze sits over the industrial zone. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich impasto brushwork, deep atmospheric perspective, warm amber foreground light contrasting with cool blue-grey distance, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, every PV cell reflection, every cooling tower's parabolic curve and concrete texture. No text, no labels, no human figures prominent — the landscape itself is the protagonist.
