That depends a lot on the kind of energy. Potential energy can be stored almost indefinitely. For example, a stone which you lift up and put on a shelf has potential energy. To be a little more practical, water in a dam also has potential energy.

Kinetic energy is more difficult to store, because of friction. But some cars have been built that use a flywheel to store energy for up to a day or so.

There is no way to store thermal energy indefinitely, but if you put water in a hot water bottle, it may remain hot for hours, or even days.
