Strong overnight wind at 25.1 GW leads generation, but 2.5 GW net imports are needed to meet 40 GW demand.

Wind onshore 20.2 GW dominates the right two-thirds of the scene as vast rows of three-blade turbines on lattice towers stretching into the distance across a gently rolling plain; wind offshore 4.9 GW appears as a cluster of larger turbines on the far-right horizon above a dark sea sliver. Brown coal 3.2 GW occupies the left foreground as a pair of massive hyperbolic cooling towers trailing pale steam plumes into the night sky, lit from below by orange sodium lamps. Natural gas 3.0 GW sits centre-left as a compact CCGT plant with twin exhaust stacks emitting thin vapour, its control building windows glowing warm yellow. Biomass 4.2 GW is rendered as a mid-ground industrial facility with a squat rectangular boiler house and a tall chimney, woodchip conveyors visible under floodlights. Hydro 1.1 GW appears as a small concrete dam structure in the centre-right middle distance, faintly lit by a single security light. Hard coal 0.9 GW is a smaller power station to the far left, identifiable by a single box-shaped boiler house and one slim smokestack with a faint reddish glow at its tip. The sky is completely dark — deep navy-black, no twilight, no sky glow — scattered with sharp stars through only 10% cloud cover; a thin crescent moon may be faintly visible. The April landscape at 6.9 °C shows early-spring grass just beginning to green, bare-branched trees with the first tiny buds. Wind at 17 km/h animates turbine blades and bends the cooling-tower steam plumes. The atmosphere feels heavy and slightly oppressive, reflecting the elevated 83.6 EUR/MWh price — a faint industrial haze hangs in the middle distance. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — Caspar David Friedrich meets industrial sublime — rich deep blues, warm sodium oranges, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric perspective creating depth across kilometres of terrain. Meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, every cooling tower's parabolic curve, every CCGT exhaust stack. No text, no labels.
