Pirates blocking a major trade route could have been the cause. As soon the pirates died the trade flow unblocked.

Did you build any buildings with Specialist jobs, so that your technicians changed into them ?

Do you have your Planet Designation on auto ? This could mess up something ...

Did a load of ships complete being built during a single month and take you over Naval Capacity? That can sometime cause that kind of massive energy drop - especially with big ships.

Or (related), were you integrating a subject? When that completes that can wildly take you over Navel Capacity (and other things that can lead to a big drop in income).

Did you leave the EU?

Aside from the things already mentioned, monthly trades on the market can also cause this.

Monthly trade does not go through if you lack the energy, so you'll have a large income in one month, and then when you have enough energy stored to fulfill the buy order, it will buy and push your energy balance back into the negatives until you can once again not afford to buy the amount you entered.
