Onshore wind leads at 13.4 GW but evening demand and zero solar drive high thermal dispatch and net imports.

Wind onshore 13.4 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across dark rolling hills, their rotors turning slowly; brown coal 5.6 GW occupies the far left as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white-grey steam plumes, lit from below by sodium-orange industrial lights; natural gas 4.8 GW appears centre-left as compact CCGT power plants with tall single exhaust stacks venting thin heat shimmer, their facilities illuminated by harsh white floodlights; biomass 4.5 GW sits centre-right as a series of smaller industrial buildings with short stacks and warm amber-lit storage silos of woodchip; hard coal 2.4 GW appears behind the brown coal plant as a secondary set of rectangular boiler houses with twin stacks trailing grey smoke; wind offshore 2.7 GW is suggested in the far background as faint red aviation-warning lights blinking on the dark horizon line; hydro 1.5 GW is represented by a small dam and powerhouse nestled in a valley at lower right, water gleaming under a single floodlight; solar 0.3 GW is absent from the scene — no panels visible. The sky is completely dark, a deep navy-black expanse with full 100% cloud cover obscuring all stars, no twilight glow, no sunset remnant — it is fully night at 20:00 in May. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive, reflecting the high electricity price: humid haze hangs low, the clouds seem to press downward, and the industrial steam merges with the overcast ceiling. Temperature is a warm 21°C — lush green deciduous trees in full spring leaf line the foreground, their foliage barely visible in the artificial light. Ground-level wind is gentle at 8.4 km/h, causing only slight motion in grass and leaves. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich, dark palette of deep blues, blacks, warm ambers, and industrial oranges, with visible impasto brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro between the glowing facilities and the surrounding darkness, atmospheric depth achieved through layers of haze and steam, meticulous engineering accuracy in every turbine nacelle, cooling tower curvature, and exhaust stack detail.
