Natural gas 10.2 GW dominates the centre-left as a cluster of compact CCGT power stations with tall single exhaust stacks emitting heat shimmer and faint vapour, lit by sodium-orange industrial floodlights. Brown coal 6.9 GW occupies the left background as three massive hyperbolic cooling towers releasing thick white steam plumes that dissolve into the black overcast sky, with conveyor belts of lignite faintly visible under arc lights. Hard coal 5.4 GW appears as a pair of large coal-fired boiler houses with tall square chimneys behind the brown coal station, their red aviation warning lights blinking. Wind onshore 10.6 GW spans the right half of the scene as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice and tubular towers arrayed across rolling farmland, their nacelle lights glowing red, blades turning at moderate speed in the 11 km/h breeze. Wind offshore 1.7 GW is suggested by a small group of turbines on the far-right horizon, barely visible against the dark sky. Biomass 4.5 GW sits in the mid-right as a wood-chip-fed CHP plant with a modest smokestack and a pile of woodchips illuminated by a single floodlight. Hydro 1.8 GW is rendered as a small run-of-river weir and powerhouse in the foreground along a dark river reflecting the industrial lights. The sky is completely black and overcast at 21:00 in April — no stars, no moon, no twilight glow, a thick 100% cloud layer pressing low and oppressive, conveying the high electricity price. The temperature is a cool 8.7°C; early spring vegetation is sparse — bare branches with only the first pale-green buds on riverside willows. The entire scene is lit only by artificial light: orange sodium lamps, white LED floodlights on industrial structures, and the dim red blink of turbine nacelles. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich impasto brushwork, deep chiaroscuro contrasts between the glowing industrial facilities and the surrounding darkness, atmospheric depth with steam plumes fading into murky distance, meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower flute, and CCGT exhaust stack.
