Consider the following statements : 1. Lamba in Gujarat is famous for win power- plant. 2. Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh is famous for geothermal energy plant. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1 is correct as Lamba, located in the Jamnagar district of Gujarat, is a prominent site for wind power generation. Gujarat has the highest wind power potential in India and was a pioneer in large-scale wind projects, starting in the 1980s [4]. Statement 2 is also correct. Manikaran, situated in the Parvati Valley of Himachal Pradesh, is one of India's most significant geothermal energy sites [3]. It is part of the Himalayan geothermal belt and hosts numerous hot springs. While India's overall geothermal potential is limited to approximately 600 MW, Manikaran has been the site of experimental pilot plants, including a 5 MW facility, to harness heat from underground rocks [2]. Both locations are well-recognized in Indian geography for their specific renewable energy contributions.
