Wind leads at 20.3 GW but 5.4 GW net imports needed as midnight demand outpaces domestic supply.

Wind onshore 16.8 GW dominates the right two-thirds of the scene as dozens of tall three-blade turbines with white lattice towers arrayed across dark rolling hills, rotors turning steadily; brown coal 6.2 GW occupies the far left as a cluster of massive hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick pale steam plumes lit from below by sodium-orange industrial lamps; natural gas 5.5 GW sits left of centre as a compact CCGT power station with twin tall exhaust stacks venting thin vapour, warmly lit control buildings; biomass 4.4 GW appears as a medium-sized industrial plant with a short wide chimney and stacked timber visible in a lit yard; wind offshore 3.5 GW is glimpsed far in the background as a row of turbines standing in a dark sea along the distant horizon; hard coal 2.1 GW is a smaller coal plant with a single large stack and red aviation warning lights; hydro 1.2 GW is a low concrete dam with a faint white cascade in a valley at the right edge. Time is midnight: the sky is completely black with brilliant stars visible through perfectly clear atmosphere (1% cloud cover), no moon glow, no twilight—only artificial light sources illuminate the structures. The April landscape shows fresh green grass and budding deciduous trees faintly visible in reflected industrial light, temperature around 8°C suggested by a thin ground mist curling between the turbine bases. The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive, reflecting the high electricity price—a brooding weight presses down despite the clear sky, conveyed through dense, saturated tones and a claustrophobic horizon. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape art—Caspar David Friedrich meets industrial modernity—with rich impasto brushwork, deep chiaroscuro contrasts between sodium-lit machinery and velvet darkness, atmospheric depth receding into inky distance, meticulous engineering accuracy on turbine nacelles, cooling tower profiles, and plant infrastructure.
