Wind dominates at 20.9 GW overnight; brown coal and gas fill the thermal baseload gap, with modest net imports required.

Wind onshore 16.5 GW dominates the right half and background as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across dark rolling hills, rotors slowly turning; wind offshore 4.4 GW appears as a distant cluster of turbines visible on a black sea horizon at far right. Brown coal 6.0 GW occupies the left foreground as three massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white-grey steam plumes lit from below by sodium-orange industrial lighting. Natural gas 4.2 GW sits left-of-centre as two compact CCGT units with tall single exhaust stacks releasing thin vapour, surrounded by steel piping and service platforms under floodlights. Biomass 4.1 GW appears as a medium-sized industrial plant with a squat smokestack and wood-chip storage silos, warm interior glow visible through windows, positioned centre-left. Hard coal 1.3 GW is a single smaller power station behind the gas units, recognizable by its rectangular boiler house and conveyor belt. Hydro 1.3 GW is suggested by a concrete dam structure in a valley at centre-right, with faint turbine-hall lights reflected in dark water. No solar panels anywhere — it is deep night. The sky is completely black and overcast, 100% cloud cover blocking all stars, heavy low clouds faintly lit orange-brown from below by industrial light pollution. The atmosphere feels oppressive and close, reflecting the high electricity price. Temperature is a cool 6.6°C — early spring, bare deciduous trees with only the faintest buds, dormant brown grass, patches of mist clinging to low ground between the turbines. Rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich impasto brushwork, deep chiaroscuro contrasts, atmospheric depth achieved through layered glazes. Industrial structures are painted with meticulous engineering accuracy: correct nacelle shapes, three-blade rotor geometry, hyperbolic cooling tower curvature, CCGT exhaust stack proportions. The palette is dominated by deep navy-blacks, warm sodium oranges, and cool steel greys, with steam plumes catching artificial light in luminous ivory-white strokes. No text, no labels.
