They don't. Power is always being used somewhere, and the electrical systems are connected all over the country.
Answer
There is no direct means of storing electrical energy, Energy companies generate energy to meet the demand placed on it by the load being supplied. If the load goes up, then more energy is generated to meet that load; if the load goes down, then less energy is generated. The energy generated does not exceed the load.
Energy can be stored indirectly. For example, hydroelectric power systems rely on the water stored behind dams in order to generate electrical energy so, in that sense, energy is indeed being stored.

How did Benjamin Franklin use lightning to catch electricity in a bottle?
To my knowledge Benjamin Franklin did not store lightning energy in a bottle. There were capacitors called Leyden flasks at the time which could store electrical energy.
Can photovoltaic cells store energy?
no, photovoltaic cells just produce the electricity. the electrical energy produced from the cells will be stored in storage systems (Batteries)
Why don't we get most of our electricity from batteries?
Batteries can only store electricity, not create it. Batteries can only store and release direct current (DC), while power plants produce alternating current (AC). Since it takes up a lot of space and it costs a lot to use batteries, the batteries might not be able to store all the electricity that is produced. This is why an electrical generating station does not use batteries to generate electricity.
What is the purpose of a battery?
The purpose of a battery is to provide power/electricity to the circuit or other object. to provide energy for the current to flow The electrical cell/battery is designed to store energy in chemical form, and to deliver it in electrical form when required.
How is called flow of electricity?
An electrical current.
Can you put electricity in a jar?
No, electricity cannot be put in a jar. Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, and it requires a complete circuit to flow. You can store electrical energy in a battery or capacitor, but you cannot store the flow of electricity itself in a jar.
What can store electrical energy in circuits?
There is no easy way to store electricity. capacitors can store a charge but for commercial usage totally unsound. The way that man learnt o store electricity is by building dams and storing water. So when watter is released energy that energy can be converted to electricity.
Where do power companies get their electricity from?
They generate it by converting mechanical energy to electrical energy using generators inside power plants.
What are the three examples of electrical energy?
three types of electrical energy is an outlet, a lightbulb, and the sun. I know these are right because my teacher told me.
Do most electrical companies give their customers the option of receiving their electricity bill online in an effort to go green?
Yes. Recently, many industries have switched over to communicate through the internet. Electrical companies are a part of this group and do this for convenience and to save money.
Which electrical wires bring electricity to an electrical device or motor?
which electrical wires bring electricity to an electrical device or motor The cable, otherwise known as the flex or the lead.
How was electricity captured inside of electrical wires?
Electricity is not "captured" inside of electrical wires. The question makes no sense.
Does electrical leakage waste electricity?
Electrical leakage does waste electricity. Any current that does not do useful work is wasted.
Why does electricity need to be produced at the very same time it is needed?
That's because electricity isn't stored. It's possible in principle to store electrical energy, for example in capacitors, but that would be very expensive.
How many electricity companies are there?
There are too many electricity companies to count in the United states alone. A search in the US produced links for over 200,000 electricity companies.
What is a benefit of electrical energy?
we can have our electricity because of electrical energy
Why is an electrical outlet electrical?
Because it has electricity flowing to the outlet.
