Wind leads at 14.6 GW but 17.5 GW net imports needed as solar fades and evening demand peaks at 55.4 GW.

Wind onshore 11.2 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice and tubular towers stretching across rolling green hills, rotors turning in moderate wind; wind offshore 3.4 GW appears in the far-right background as a distant line of turbines on the horizon above a sliver of sea; brown coal 5.0 GW occupies the left foreground as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white-grey steam plumes; natural gas 5.6 GW sits just right of centre as a pair of compact CCGT plants with tall single exhaust stacks and visible heat shimmer; hard coal 2.0 GW appears as a smaller coal-fired station behind the lignite plant with a single rectangular chimney trailing a thin smoke column; solar 4.8 GW is rendered as fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels on the mid-ground hillsides catching the last low-angle amber light; biomass 4.5 GW appears as a cluster of wood-chip power plants with squat cylindrical silos and short stacks with pale exhaust, positioned centre-left; hydro 1.5 GW is a small concrete run-of-river dam visible in a valley in the centre background with water cascading through spillways. Time of day: late dusk at 19:00 in late April — the sky shows a narrow band of deep orange-red glow along the western horizon at far left, rapidly fading upward into slate blue and early indigo overhead; the sun has nearly set, casting long golden-amber light across the lower landscape while upper structures fall into blue shadow. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive, reflecting the high electricity price — a faint industrial haze hangs across the scene, slightly muting distant details. Spring vegetation is lush: fresh bright-green leaves on deciduous trees, green grass on hillsides, wildflowers in meadow strips. Wind animates the scene: grass bends gently, turbine blades show motion blur, steam plumes trail eastward. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters such as Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen — rich saturated colour palette of amber, slate, emerald and iron-grey, visible expressive brushwork especially in the sky and steam clouds, atmospheric depth with sfumato in distant layers, meticulous engineering accuracy in all technology details including turbine nacelles, PV cell grids, cooling tower parabolic profiles, and CCGT exhaust geometry.
