Wind onshore 21.2 GW dominates the right half and far background as dozens of three-blade turbines with white tubular towers and nacelles stretching across rolling green hills, rotors turning moderately in light wind; wind offshore 3.5 GW appears as a distant cluster of larger turbines on the far-right horizon above a sliver of grey sea. Solar 15.4 GW fills the centre-right foreground as vast arrays of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels on green farmland, catching low-angle amber light. Brown coal 6.7 GW occupies the left quarter as massive hyperbolic concrete cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes, with conveyor belts and open-pit mine terraces visible at their base. Natural gas 3.6 GW sits centre-left as a compact combined-cycle gas turbine plant with slender exhaust stacks and a single modest steam plume. Hard coal 2.7 GW appears as a smaller coal-fired station behind the gas plant, with a square chimney and coal stockpiles. Biomass 4.2 GW is rendered as a cluster of wood-clad biomass boiler buildings with short stacks and woodchip storage silos in the left-centre middle ground. Hydro 1.6 GW appears as a small concrete run-of-river dam with spillway in the lower-left foreground, water catching the fading light. The sky reflects 17:00 dusk in May: a rapidly fading orange-red glow confined to the lower horizon on the left, with the upper sky deepening to steel blue-grey, partially overcast at 65% cloud cover — broken cumulus clouds lit copper and salmon underneath, darker grey above. The atmosphere feels heavy and slightly oppressive, reflecting the high 96 EUR/MWh price — a brooding, weighty quality to the clouds. Spring vegetation: fresh bright-green grass, budding deciduous trees, wildflowers in meadows. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — Caspar David Friedrich meets industrial sublime — rich saturated colour, visible impasto brushwork, deep atmospheric perspective, dramatic chiaroscuro between the glowing horizon and darkening sky. Every technology rendered with meticulous engineering accuracy: turbine blade profiles, PV cell grid patterns, cooling tower parabolic geometry, CCGT heat recovery units. No text, no labels.
