Wind leads at 20.5 GW but significant thermal generation and net imports cover a 51 GW nighttime demand.

Wind onshore 16.5 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white lattice towers stretching across rolling dark hills, rotors visibly turning; wind offshore 4.0 GW appears in the far right background as a cluster of turbines standing in a dark sea glimpsed between hills; brown coal 5.8 GW occupies the left foreground as two massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick pale steam plumes lit from below by sodium-orange industrial lighting; natural gas 5.6 GW sits left-of-centre as a compact CCGT plant with twin exhaust stacks releasing thin heat shimmer, illuminated by white facility lights; hard coal 2.0 GW appears as a smaller power station with a single smokestack and conveyor infrastructure behind the gas plant; biomass 4.6 GW is rendered as a mid-sized wood-chip-fired plant with a squat green-lit boiler house and short chimneys centre-left; hydro 1.2 GW is depicted as a small illuminated dam spillway in the mid-ground valley between the thermal complex and the wind farm. NO solar panels anywhere — it is fully night. The sky is completely black with faint stars visible through clear atmosphere, zero cloud cover, a crescent moon low on the horizon casting minimal silver light. The air feels heavy and oppressive despite the clear sky, conveying the high electricity price — a brooding, dense atmosphere with warm sodium and cool LED lights reflecting off the ground. Spring vegetation: fresh green grass and budding deciduous trees visible only where facility lights fall. Temperature around 12°C suggested by light mist near the ground in low areas. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich, deep colour palette of navy, amber, and steel grey, visible confident brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro from artificial lighting against total darkness, atmospheric depth receding from the industrial foreground into the distant offshore turbines. Meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower shell, CCGT stack, and dam structure. The composition evokes Caspar David Friedrich's sense of sublime scale but applied to an industrial nocturne. No text, no labels.
