As long as the superconductor is cold and remains superconducting the current will continue to circulate and energy is stored. The (magnetic) energy stored inside a coil comes from the magnetic field inside the cylinder. The energy of a magnetic field is proportional to B 2, hence the total energy goes like B 2 x Volume.
