The electromagnetic energy equation is analyzed term by term in a 3Dsimulation of kinetic reconnection previously reported by\citet{vapirev2013formation}. The evolution presents the usual 2D-liketopological structures caused by an initial perturbation independent of thethird dimension. However, downstream of the reconnection site, where thejetting plasma encounters the yet unperturbed pre-existing plasma, a downstreamfront (DF) is formed and made unstable by the strong density gradient and theunfavorable local acceleration field. The energy exchange between plasma andfields is most intense at the instability, reaching several $pW/m^3$,alternating between load (energy going from fields to particles) and generator(energy going from particles to fields) regions. Energy exchange is insteadpurely that of a load at the reconnection site itself in a region focusedaround the x-line and elongated along the separatrix surfaces.  Poynting fluxes are generated at all energy exchange regions and travel awayfrom the reconnection site transporting an energy signal of the order of about$\mathbf S \approx 10^{-3} W/m^2$.
