If you mean to ask what type of energy is in a tornado it is kinetic energy, the energy of matter in motion. There is also something called CAPE, or Convective Available Potential Energy, which is the amount of energy in the air that can be used by a thunderstorm, including the ones that produce tornadoes.

Aside from that there is no particular name for the energy in a tornado.

What type of energy is a tornado?

A tornado is a form of kinetic energy, specifically in the form of mechanical energy. This is because a tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that has both translational and rotational motion, causing it to possess kinetic energy. The destructive power of a tornado is a result of this kinetic energy transferring to its surroundings, causing damage to structures and landscapes.

What storm produces energy to form a tornado?

Most tornadoes are produced by and get their energy from thunderstorms called supercells. However, no storm actually creates energy; that would violate the laws of physics. The storms get their energy from warm, moist air that has been heated by the sun.
