Diffuse solar leads at 26.1 GW but calm winds and full overcast drive 13.5 GW net imports and elevated prices.

Solar 26.1 GW dominates the centre-right as vast rolling fields of aluminium-framed crystalline silicon PV panels stretching across flat farmland, their surfaces reflecting a dull grey sky with no direct sunlight; brown coal 8.5 GW occupies the left background as a cluster of massive hyperbolic concrete cooling towers with thick white-grey steam plumes merging into the overcast, flanked by conveyor belts and lignite stockpiles; natural gas 4.8 GW appears centre-left as two compact CCGT power plants with slender exhaust stacks trailing faint heat shimmer; hard coal 3.9 GW stands behind the gas plants as a large brick-and-steel boiler house with a single tall smokestack; biomass 4.3 GW appears as a mid-ground wooden-clad biomass plant with a modest chimney and timber chip piles; wind onshore 2.2 GW is represented by a small group of three-blade turbines on a distant ridge, their rotors barely turning in the still air; wind offshore 0.2 GW is a single tiny turbine silhouette on a far horizon line suggesting the sea; hydro 1.6 GW appears as a modest concrete dam and spillway nestled in a green valley at the far right. The sky is a uniform 100% overcast — heavy, low, oppressive iron-grey cloud layer with no blue or sun visible, pressing down on the landscape, conveying the tension of a 114 EUR/MWh price. Daytime at 10:00 — diffuse flat light illuminates everything evenly with no shadows. Spring vegetation: fresh green grass, budding deciduous trees at 14.3 °C, no wind motion in foliage. Power transmission lines on lattice pylons cross the scene, visually connecting the disparate generators. Highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich saturated colour, visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric aerial perspective with misty depth — but with meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, PV module frame, cooling tower curvature, and exhaust stack.
