The informational energy of Onicescu is a positive quantity that measures the amount of uncertainty of a random variable like Shannon's entropy. In this note, we report closed-form formula for Onicescu's informational energy and correlation coefficient when the densities belong to an exponential family. We also report as a byproduct a closed-form formula for the Cauchy-Schwarz divergence between densities of an exponential family.
