Energy can be retained or transformed, not created. And there is some energy dissipation throughout the electrolysis process. You know, for example, a voltaic arc is quite hot, which means it's converting a part of the electric energy into thermal energy that is harder to recover. So, in the end there will be some waste of energy throughout the whole process.
