    In my understanding, "lipids" themselves do not provide energy.  They are a broad group of fats in the blood stream that are left over from the digestion process.  Eat more fats, and the lipid level in your blood goes up. 


    They do offer some energy potential, since 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories.  That is as concise an answer as can be given, since again "lipids" are a big group.  I hope that helps.
