Energy is used to complete classes and most quests in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.  You will earn 1 point of energy every 4 minutes by default, however your energy is capped so you will not be able to accumulate energy indefinitely.  Additionally there are many locations which will periodically give you free bonus energy.  They can be clicked every 4-8 hours.

East Towers

1) Picture Frame – Directly behind the spot you load in, before the Charms Classroom.  The picture frame will be blank if energy is available.
