Io's energy source is external---Jupiter's gravity. Io orbits very close to Jupiter, the planet's huge gravitational field produces strong tidal forces on the moon, resulting in a large tidal bulge. If Io were Jupiter's only satellite, it would have long ago have come into a state of synchronous rotation with the planet. In that case, Io would move in a perfectly circular orbit with one face permanently turned toward Jupiter. The tidal bulge would be stationary, and there would be no internal stresses and no volcanism. However, Io experiences tidal pull from Jupiter's other moons also.
