Natural gas 8.7 GW dominates the centre-right as a cluster of compact CCGT power plants with tall single exhaust stacks venting pale heat shimmer into the darkness; brown coal 8.6 GW occupies the centre-left as massive hyperbolic cooling towers with thick white steam plumes billowing upward, lit from below by orange sodium lamps; onshore wind 4.8 GW appears as a row of three-blade turbines on a distant ridge, their rotors turning slowly, each nacelle marked by a blinking red aviation light; biomass 4.4 GW is rendered as a mid-sized industrial facility with a wood-chip conveyor and a single smokestack glowing warmly; hard coal 3.8 GW sits behind the brown coal plant as a second, slightly smaller group of cooling towers and a visible coal bunker structure; hydro 1.5 GW appears as a concrete dam with illuminated spillway in the far background valley; offshore wind 0.4 GW is a faint silhouette of two turbines on a distant dark horizon line. The scene is set at 23:00 — completely dark, black sky with total cloud cover obscuring all stars and moon, no twilight whatsoever. The only illumination comes from industrial sodium-vapour streetlights casting harsh orange pools on wet asphalt, the red glow of furnace mouths, blinking red turbine lights, and the pale fluorescent glow from plant control-room windows. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive, reflecting high electricity prices — low clouds press down on the steam plumes, trapping them close to the ground. Temperature is a cool 8°C in early May: fresh green foliage on scattered birch and linden trees at the margins, damp spring grass glistening in the artificial light. Wind is nearly calm at 5.9 km/h — smoke and steam rise almost vertically. High-voltage transmission pylons recede into the murk, carrying imported power. Style: highly detailed oil painting in the tradition of 19th-century German Romantic landscape painters — rich, dark palette of deep navy, burnt sienna, ochre, and charcoal grey — visible impasto brushwork, atmospheric sfumato in the steam and cloud layers, meticulous engineering detail on every turbine nacelle, cooling tower, and exhaust stack.
