Can a character perform telekinesis with energy manipulation?
I knew that energy is a scalar quantity, so I wonder can a character move and alter direction of an object at distance by giving it kinetic energy? Thanks.

Can a character perform telekinesis with energy manipulation?
Perhaps. The answer could be yes, but only conditionally upon the character being able to manipulate:
Dark Energy
dark energy is an unknown form of energy which is hypothesized to permeate all of space, tending to accelerate the expansion of the universe. Dark energy is the most accepted hypothesis to explain the observations since the 1990s indicating that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate.....
Dark energy's status as a hypothetical force with unknown properties makes it a very active target of research.
It is described in several hypothetical models:
Cosmological constant The simplest explanation for dark energy is that it is an intrinsic, fundamental energy of space.
Quintessence In quintessence models of dark energy, the observed acceleration of the scale factor is caused by the potential energy of a dynamical field, referred to as quintessence field. Quintessence differs from the cosmological constant in that it can vary in space and time.
Interacting dark energy This class of theories attempts to come up with an all-encompassing theory of both dark matter and dark energy as a single phenomenon that modifies the laws of gravity at various scales. This could, for example, treat dark energy and dark matter as different facets of the same unknown substance, or postulate that cold dark matter decays into dark energy.
Plus a number of others. The mechanism by which your character might manipulate matter is not something that Physics can say very much about at present, however there are many examples in fiction of how unusual powers have been written about and explained before Dark Energy was even thought of:
A character able to create gravitational fields at will is of course familiar from "Marvel's Agents of Shield" - episode 107 titled "Option Two" Talbot absorbs a rare substance called Gravitonium and is then able to manipulate gravity at will.
Asimov's "The Gods Themselves" is another example:
Beings are divided into three different types with slightly varying abilities:
is set in the parallel universe where, because the nuclear force is stronger, stars are smaller and burn out faster than in our universe.....
Because atoms behave differently in this universe, substances can move through each other and appear to occupy the same space. This gives the intelligent beings unique abilities.
No specific telekinesis, but the idea of beings or technology either more advanced than us, or imbued with the ability to interact with matter in unusual ways is a familiar trope.
