Wind leads at 15.3 GW but 7.8 GW of net imports are needed as thermal plants cover overnight baseload.

Wind onshore 12.2 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling dark hills; wind offshore 3.1 GW appears as a cluster of turbines on the far-right horizon above a faintly gleaming sea; brown coal 4.6 GW occupies the left foreground as two large hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white steam plumes rising into the black sky, flanked by conveyor belts and ash-lit furnace glow; biomass 4.1 GW sits left of centre as a compact industrial plant with a tall cylindrical smokestack and woodchip storage domes, warmly lit from within; natural gas 4.0 GW appears centre-left as a pair of sleek CCGT units with polished exhaust stacks emitting thin heat shimmer; hard coal 1.6 GW is a smaller power station behind the gas plant with a single square stack and a coal yard; hydro 1.3 GW is suggested by a small concrete dam and spillway in the lower-left valley. Time is 04:00 — completely dark night, black sky with scattered bright stars, absolutely no twilight or sky glow on any horizon, a clear atmosphere with zero cloud cover revealing a canopy of stars. The air temperature is near freezing: bare early-spring trees with just the faintest bud suggestion, frost on grass, breath-like mist near the ground. Sodium-orange streetlights line a road in the mid-ground. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive — an almost brooding stillness despite the clear sky, reflecting high energy prices. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — Caspar David Friedrich's nocturnal grandeur meets industrial realism — rich deep blues, warm amber industrial glows, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric depth and chiaroscuro, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower, and exhaust stack.
