Wind leads at 19.4 GW but coal and gas fill the 1 AM gap with solar absent and imports needed.

Wind onshore 14.9 GW dominates the right half of the canvas as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with lattice towers receding in rows across dark rolling farmland; wind offshore 4.5 GW appears as a distant cluster of turbines on a black sea horizon at far right. Brown coal 6.8 GW occupies the left foreground as massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white-grey steam plumes lit from below by sodium-orange industrial floodlights. Natural gas 5.3 GW fills the centre-left as a compact combined-cycle gas turbine plant with twin exhaust stacks and heat-recovery steam generators, glowing warmly. Hard coal 3.4 GW sits behind the gas plant as a smaller conventional station with a single tall chimney and conveyor infrastructure. Biomass 4.1 GW appears centre-right as a mid-sized wood-chip power plant with a modest stack and wood-pile storage yard illuminated by work lights. Hydro 1.3 GW is represented as a small concrete dam with spillway tucked into a dark valley at far left. Time is 1 AM: the sky is completely black — no twilight, no moon glow — a deep navy-to-black firmament with faint cold stars visible through perfectly clear skies (0% cloud cover). The temperature is 3 °C: bare early-spring branches on scattered trees, patches of frost on the ground catching the artificial light. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive, reflecting the high electricity price — a faint industrial haze hangs low over the thermal plants, and the sodium lights cast a brooding amber pall across the scene. The style is a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich, dark colour palette of deep blues, warm ambers, and cold greys; visible impasto brushwork; dramatic chiaroscuro between the lit industrial facilities and the surrounding darkness; atmospheric depth with turbines fading into misty distance. Every technology rendered with meticulous engineering accuracy: turbine nacelles and rotor hubs, aluminium-clad cooling towers, CCGT exhaust ducting. No text, no labels.
