      The values needed to determine the energy of an electron in a many-electron atom are

      Azimuthal quantum number
      Principal quantum number

      Let me explain it further

      Principal Quantum number denoted by n tells about the distance of an electron from the nucleus and as n increases energy increase.

      In the many-electron atoms, the energy of an orbital depends on l as well, the energy increasing as l increases even when n is constant.
