Wind leads at 18.9 GW but 13.6 GW net imports fill the gap as cool pre-dawn demand peaks.

Wind onshore 13.5 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching across rolling hills into the distance; wind offshore 5.4 GW appears as a cluster of larger turbines visible on a far grey horizon line beyond a river estuary; brown coal 6.5 GW occupies the left foreground as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes rising into the heavy sky; natural gas 5.8 GW sits centre-left as a pair of compact CCGT plants with tall single exhaust stacks venting thin, hot exhaust; biomass 4.2 GW appears as a mid-ground industrial facility with a woodchip storage dome and a shorter smokestack trailing pale smoke; hard coal 3.2 GW is rendered as a smaller coal plant with a single rectangular cooling tower and conveyor belt infrastructure at the left edge; hydro 1.2 GW is a modest dam and powerhouse nestled in a valley in the centre background; solar 1.0 GW is a small array of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon panels on a hillside, dark and inactive, reflecting no light. Time of day is dawn at 06:00 in late April — the sky is deep blue-grey with the faintest pale luminescence along the eastern horizon, no direct sunlight, no warm colours yet, the landscape lit mostly by sodium-orange industrial lights from the power stations and a dim pre-dawn glow. Temperature is near freezing: bare deciduous trees with only the earliest buds, patches of frost on the grass, breath-like mist near the ground. Cloud cover at 47% renders the upper sky partly clear with scattered grey clouds, stars still faintly visible through gaps. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive reflecting the high electricity price — a dense, brooding quality to the air, low haze clinging to the river valley. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen, rich dark blues, slate greys, warm amber industrial glows, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric depth with layers of mist between foreground coal plants and distant wind turbines, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower, and exhaust stack, the scene reading as a monumental Romantic landscape of the industrial age.
