This is a deceiving complex question and hinges on the definition of a force. A force is something that changes the velocity of an object. While energy is typically find as the ability to get work done. However things like heat, light and other radiation are forms of energy. Einstein made the equation E=mc^2, so even mass itself is a form of energy. So the bottom line, energy is thing that all forces need to occur. But, there can be energy with no force.
