Why is it feminine?
Energía is feminine because it derives from Latin "energia," which came from Greek "energeia" (ἐνέργεια), and the Latin feminine ending "-ia" was preserved in Spanish, a pattern followed by many scientific and abstract nouns ending in "-ía." This inheritance of gender from the original Latin/Greek source is typical for many Spanish words rather than following a productive modern rule.
