The phrase "energetically cheap" is not correct and, thus, is not usable in written English
If you are looking for an alternative phrase that conveys the same meaning, then you can use the phrase "cost-efficient". For example, you could say: "We want to create a cost-efficient system for producing energy."

Once thought to be energetically cheap and easy to produce, empirical work has shown that sperm is a costly and limited resource for males.
Cheek ornamentation is melanin-based containing 99.2% phaemelanin and 0.8% eumelanin [49] and even though its synthesis was recently shown to be affected by dietary manipulations [50] it is considered to be energetically cheap [51].
For males, spermatogenesis is energetically cheap, less than 1% of basal metabolic rate (Elia 1992), and male fecundity is relatively insensitive to energetic constraint (Bribiescas 2001a).
Simulation studies based on the above-mentioned integral controllers provide a simple, decentralized solution to this problem of dealing with redundant degrees of freedom and finding an energetically cheap solution while maintaining body position (Lévy and Cruse 2008).

As shelter owners, fish that had been raised with adults showed more of an energetically cheaper, restrained form of aggression, while as intruders they behaved submissively more often than fish raised without adults.
Small RNAs (sRNAs) are believed to afford the bacterium an energetically cheaper, as well as a more rapid mode of affecting changes in protein production [1], [2], [3], [4].
Although soaring-gliding is energetically cheaper than flapping, for relatively small birds it may come at a potentially high cost in terms of fitness, since the overall flight speed is slower [19] and migration may thereby be prolonged [20].
And as previously mentioned, acoustic signals are likely to be energetically cheaper than chemical signals, which require considerable energy expenditure for the synthesis of the signal itself as well as its cognate receptor.
Lastly, by comparing the energy requirements for TAG and starch synthesis, we find that storage carbohydrates such as starch are energetically cheaper to make than TAG on a per carbon basis.
While at the shorter jump distance there was no apparent difference in energy expenditure between jumping conditions, there was good evidence that jumps of 1.8 m were energetically cheaper when take-off was from a compliant springboard (Fig. 2).
Because of its very nature, sound can therefore offer an effective mechanism for signaling when a rapid and instantaneous response is required (e.g., much faster and possibly energetically cheaper than the chemical signaling, given the high metabolic costs associated with the synthesis of the volatile and allelochemical messengers commonly used by plants for such purpose; Paré and Tumlinson 1999).
