By performing two-dimensional axisymmetric general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations with spin parameter admin.py admin.pyc varying from -0.9 to 0.9, we investigate the dependence on the black hole spin of the energy flow from a supercritical accretion disk around a stellar mass black hole. It is found that optically and geometrically thick disks form near the equatorial plane, and a part of the disk matter is launched from the disk surface in all models. The gas ejection is mainly driven by the radiative force, but magnetic force cannot be neglected when ∣a*∣ is large. The energy outflow efficiency (total luminosity normalized by ${\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{in}}{c}^{2};$${\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{in}}$ and c are the mass-accretion rate at the event horizon and the light speed) is higher for rotating black holes than for nonrotating black holes. This is 0.7% for admin.py admin.pyc = -0.7, 0.3% for admin.py admin.pyc = 0, and 5% for admin.py admin.pyc = 0.7 for ${\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{in}}\sim 100{L}_{\mathrm{Edd}}/{c}^{2}$ (L_Edd is the Eddington luminosity). Furthermore, although the energy is mainly released by radiation when admin.py admin.pyc ∼ 0, the Poynting power increases with ∣a*∣ and exceeds the radiative luminosity for models with admin.py admin.pyc ≥ 0.5 and admin.py admin.pyc ≤ -0.7. The faster the black hole rotates, the higher the power ratio of the kinetic luminosity to the isotropic luminosity tends to be. This implies that objects with a high (low) power ratio may have rapidly (slowly) rotating black holes. Among ultraluminous X-ray sources, IC342 X-1, is a candidate with a rapidly rotating black hole.
