I'm unsure of which they are in the great wheel. I know they are inner planes in other models. The 5th edition great wheel's planes.

They are neither.

As specified in the DMG on 43, 5e has several "categories" of planes:

• 
  The Material Plane and Its Echoes. The Feywild and the Shadowfell are reflections of the Material Plane.


• 
  The Transitive Planes. The Ethereal Plane and the Astral Plane are mostly featureless planes that serve primarily as pathways to travel from one plane to another.


• 
  The Inner Planes. The four Elemental Planes (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water), plus the Elemental Chaos that surrounds them, are the Inner Planes.


• 
  The Outer Planes. Sixteen Outer Planes correspond to the eight non-neutral alignments and shades of philosophical difference between them.


• 
  The Positive and Negative Planes. These two planes enfold the rest of the cosmology, providing the raw forces of life and death that underlie the rest of existence in the multiverse.

They are something else entirely.

The sidebar and image on p.300 of the Player's Handbook, and the more detailed drawing on p.303, indicate that the energy planes are neither "Inner" nor "Outer", but beyond both.

Potentially, positive and negative energy are the most basic aspects of all creation, and everything else, from the divine planes to the elemental and material, are expressions of the interplay of those two forces.

There's almost no information given about the actual nature of the energy planes, which suggests to me that they lack the physicality necessary to travel there, or at least there isn't much point to doing so, because if you could go there in person it would be simply an immaterial void.
