As with a hurricane on Earth the "Great Red Spot" is fed by heat, but unlike on Earth, the heat is generated internally on Jupiter. Since there is no land mass for the storms to pass over on Jupiter, the storms continue to churn away, fed heat continuously. It is unknown how long the Red Spot has persisted since it was already present when the first astronomers noted it in the early 17th Century (the telecope was invented in 1608). The spot changes significantly over time and has been shown to absorb/merge with other smaller storms. The storm has been raging for more than 400 years and currently measures about 25000 km by 15000 km. In simple terms, this storm is fed by the expansion of liquefied gases. It keeps on receiving energy so the cycle will continue for some time.
