Wind leads generation at 18.7 GW combined, but 13.5 GW net imports are needed to meet strong evening demand.

Wind onshore 16.3 GW dominates the right half and background as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white lattice towers stretching across rolling green spring hills, their rotors turning in moderate wind; brown coal 6.3 GW occupies the left foreground as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white-grey steam plumes rising into the sky; natural gas 4.8 GW appears as a compact CCGT plant with slender exhaust stacks and smaller vapour trails positioned centre-left; solar 4.7 GW is rendered as rows of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels on a hillside catching the very last orange-red light at the low horizon; biomass 4.6 GW sits as a timber-clad power station with a tall chimney and wood-chip storage silos near centre-right; hard coal 3.6 GW appears as an older industrial plant with conveyor belts and a single large smokestack behind the biomass facility; wind offshore 2.4 GW is suggested by a distant row of turbines on a far hazy horizon line; hydro 1.5 GW is a small dam with spillway visible in a valley at lower right. TIME AND LIGHTING: dusk at 19:00 in late April — the sky above is deepening from steel-blue to indigo, with a narrow band of intense orange-red glow along the western horizon casting long warm shadows; the upper sky is completely clear with zero clouds, and the first evening star may be faintly visible. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive despite the clear sky, reflecting a high electricity price — a brooding, tense quality to the air, haze settling around the coal cooling towers. Spring vegetation: fresh bright-green grass, budding deciduous trees, wildflowers in meadows. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich saturated colour, visible impasto brushwork, dramatic atmospheric depth reminiscent of Caspar David Friedrich meeting industrial realism. Every technology rendered with meticulous engineering accuracy: correct nacelle shapes, three-blade rotor geometry, realistic cooling tower curvature and steam behaviour, authentic PV panel framing.
