Wind leads at 19 GW but 8.5 GW net imports needed as solar fades and evening demand peaks.

Wind onshore 15.3 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of three-blade turbines with white tubular towers and nacelles stretching across rolling green April hills into the distance. Wind offshore 3.7 GW appears on the far right horizon as a cluster of turbines standing in a grey-blue sea barely visible through haze. Brown coal 5.4 GW occupies the left foreground as two massive hyperbolic concrete cooling towers with billowing white-grey steam plumes, beside a sprawling lignite plant with conveyor belts and coal bunkers. Natural gas 3.7 GW sits centre-left as a compact CCGT facility with a tall single exhaust stack emitting a thin heat shimmer. Hard coal 2.8 GW appears just behind the gas plant as a smaller classical coal station with a rectangular chimney and modest steam. Biomass 4.5 GW is rendered centre-right as a cluster of industrial biogas facilities with cylindrical digesters and short stacks with faint exhaust. Hydro 1.4 GW appears as a concrete dam with spillway in a valley in the mid-distance left of centre. Solar 1.7 GW is depicted as a small field of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels in the centre foreground catching the last faint orange reflections of sunset. The lighting is late dusk at 19:00 in April: a narrow band of deep orange-red glow hugs the lower western horizon while the sky above transitions rapidly from dusky violet to deep blue-grey. Clouds cover roughly 60 percent of the sky in broken layers catching the last warm light underneath. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive, reflecting the high electricity price — a brooding, weighty sky pressing down on the industrial panorama. Spring vegetation is emerging: pale green buds on deciduous trees, fresh grass, early wildflowers. Wind is moderate, turbine blades showing gentle rotation blur. Rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich layered colour, visible confident brushwork, deep atmospheric perspective, dramatic chiaroscuro between the glowing horizon and the darkening sky — yet every piece of energy infrastructure is depicted with meticulous engineering accuracy: turbine nacelles, rotor hubs, cooling tower geometries, PV cell textures. The overall composition evokes a monumental industrial landscape masterwork. No text, no labels.
