Wind leads at 11.7 GW but lignite, gas, and coal fill a large residual load requiring 8.8 GW net imports.

Wind onshore 10.2 GW dominates the right half of the scene as dozens of three-blade turbines on tall lattice towers stretching across rolling mid-German hills, rotors visibly turning in moderate wind; wind offshore 1.5 GW appears as a distant cluster of turbines on the far-right horizon. Brown coal 7.0 GW occupies the left quarter as a massive lignite power station with three hyperbolic cooling towers emitting thick white steam plumes lit from below by sodium-orange industrial lights. Natural gas 4.1 GW sits left of centre as two compact CCGT units with single tall exhaust stacks releasing thin, hot exhaust into the night. Biomass 4.1 GW appears as a mid-sized wood-chip-fired plant with a cylindrical storage silo and a modest smokestack beside it, warmly lit. Hard coal 2.8 GW stands centre-left as a coal-fired station with a single large rectangular boiler house and conveyor belts visible under floodlights. Hydro 1.5 GW is suggested by a small dam and penstock structure in a valley in the mid-ground. TIME: 03:00 at night — completely dark sky, deep navy-black, no twilight, no sky glow; all structures illuminated only by artificial sodium streetlights, amber floodlights, and glowing control-room windows. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive, reflecting a high electricity price: low, thick clouds at 62% cover dimly catching the orange industrial glow from below, creating a brooding ceiling. Spring vegetation — fresh green leaves on scattered deciduous trees — is barely visible in the artificial light. Moderate wind animates the scene: grass bends, steam plumes shear sideways from the cooling towers. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich chiaroscuro, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric depth receding into darkness, dramatic contrast between the warm industrial glow and the cold surrounding night. Meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower, exhaust stack, and conveyor system. No text, no labels.
