No because Uranus is all the way far away from the sun since it is a Heliocentric solar system so heat energy is not an option because there is no life on it and it is a cold planet. This is an infrared image of Jupiter showing regions which are hot.

The picture shows places on Jupiter which are hot. Jupiter is a very warm body in space, as shown in the picture, and this warmth is associated with the energy of Jupiter.
When the energy of the outer planets was calculated, that of Uranus was found to be low, similar to the amount of energy given off by the earth-like planets, and unlike that of Jupiter and Saturn.
In spite of the fact that the heat from within Uranus seems to be low, the movements of the atmosphere seem to be influenced by the energy of Uranus as if the heat from within was high. This is a mystery for planetary scientists.
Earth gets our energy and heat from the sun. Uranus lies further away from the Sun than Earth which means it does not get as much energy and is thus colder.
Yes, Uranus can continue to generate internal heat through gravitational contraction, albeit at a much slower rate than in its earlier formation. As the planet cools, the gravitational energy from the slow contraction of its mass can be converted into thermal energy. However, this process is not the primary source of heat for Uranus today; much of its internal heat is residual from its formation. Overall, while gravitational contraction may contribute to its internal heat, it plays a limited role compared to other factors.
Jupiter gives off more energy than it receives from the Sun. This additional energy is due to the planet's interior heat, which is a result of its gravitational compression and the residual heat from its formation.
Uranus and Neptune are the two jovian planets that do not have a significant internal heat source. They receive most of their heat from the sun and do not generate as much internal heat as Jupiter and Saturn.
Uranus generates the least internal heat among the Jovian planets. Its internal heat production is lower than that of Jupiter and Saturn.
With the growing 'green economy', geothermal energy is a viable option for power.
In our solar system, the hottest and coldest planets are Venus and Uranus respectively. The surprising thing about this is that neither is at the extreme - Mercury is closer to the Sun than Venus, and Neptune is more distant than Uranus. The abnormal temperature on Venus is attributed to the greenhouse effect, wherein the dense atmosphere allows it to trap heat energy from the Sun (Mercury by comparison having almost no atmosphere); and again on Uranus, temperature measurements have led to a hypothesis of an atmospheric mechanism wherein the planet is able to dissipate heat energy into space. Uranus also seems to have an unusually low core temperature (and thus, less heat to dissipate), the reason for which is not fully understood but may be related to an impact after its formation causing loss of its primordial heat.

Yes, Uranus does give off more energy than it receives from the Sun. This excess energy is thought to come from the planet's internal heat leftover from its formation and possibly some ongoing processes like convection in its mantle.
Yes, gas giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune emit more energy than they receive from the sun. This excess energy is primarily due to the planets' internal heat sources, including residual heat from their formation and energy generated by processes like gravitational contraction.
Uranus is a rotating gas giant, so it does have heat. However, its distance from the sun is far enough to make it very cold (with an average temperature range of about 53 to 76 K).
Solar energy is heat the sun delivers to a surface. Photovoltaic energy is electrical energy a cell or group of cells delivers, in Volts and Amperes, to a load.
