Wind onshore leads at 18.1 GW but 12.6 GW net imports needed as evening demand peaks without solar.

Wind onshore 18.1 GW dominates the right two-fifths of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with detailed nacelles and lattice towers spread across rolling dark hills, blades turning slowly; brown coal 6.3 GW occupies the left background as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes lit from below by sodium-orange industrial lighting; natural gas 5.4 GW appears center-left as compact CCGT units with tall single exhaust stacks venting thin heat shimmer, plant illuminated by harsh white floodlights; hard coal 3.7 GW sits behind the gas plant as a smaller coal-fired station with a single squat cooling tower and conveyor belt infrastructure; biomass 4.6 GW is rendered center-right as a mid-sized industrial facility with a cylindrical silo and a modest smokestack releasing pale grey exhaust; wind offshore 2.9 GW appears in the far distance as a faint row of turbines on a dark horizon line suggesting the North Sea coast; hydro 1.5 GW is suggested by a small dam structure in a valley at far left with water glinting under artificial light. The sky is completely dark, deep navy-black with no twilight, no sky glow, only stars visible through a nearly cloudless atmosphere with 4% cloud cover. Spring vegetation — fresh green grass and budding deciduous trees — is barely visible in the dim light, temperature around 11°C suggested by a cool mist near the ground. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive, reflecting the high electricity price: a brooding, weighty industrial night. Rendered as a highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich, deep colour palette of indigo, umber, ochre, and sodium orange, visible confident brushwork, atmospheric depth and chiaroscuro contrast between the dark landscape and the glowing industrial installations. Meticulous engineering detail on all turbine nacelles, cooling tower parabolic curves, exhaust stacks, and plant structures. No text, no labels.
