Explainer: What is the electric grid?

In most places, the grid connects hundreds or more of these places to a vast network of wires and equipment. Electric current can travel along many paths within the network. Power also can flow either way along wires. Equipment tells the current where to go. Two-way wires also allow the use of alternating current, or AC.
