Brown coal 8.9 GW dominates the left quarter as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white-grey steam plumes rising into black sky, lit from below by amber sodium lamps; natural gas 8.5 GW fills the centre-left as a row of compact CCGT plants with tall single exhaust stacks emitting thin heat shimmer, illuminated by harsh industrial floodlights; wind onshore 8.1 GW spans the right third as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice and tubular towers, their red aviation warning lights blinking against the deep-navy darkness, blades turning at moderate speed; wind offshore 2.1 GW appears in the far-right background as a line of turbines standing in a dark North Sea suggested by faint reflections; hard coal 4.4 GW sits behind the lignite plant as a separate power station with square mechanical-draft cooling towers and conveyor infrastructure glowing under yellowish lights; biomass 4.1 GW appears as a mid-ground wood-chip-fed CHP facility with a single smokestack and visible fuel storage domes lit warmly; hydro 1.5 GW is suggested in the far background as a concrete dam spillway with faint white water catching artificial light. The sky is completely black with 100% cloud cover — no stars, no moon, no twilight glow — only a uniform oppressive darkness pressing down, conveying the high electricity price. Spring vegetation is barely visible: bare-branching deciduous trees and early green grass at 7°C, touched by light frost. The overall atmosphere is heavy and industrial. No solar panels anywhere. Rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape art — rich impasto brushwork, deep chiaroscuro, atmospheric depth receding into darkness — yet with meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower profile, and exhaust stack.
