There is no excess "electricity". Excess (or a deficit of) electrons end up as a static charge. "Extra" current in a wire occurs at a phase angle other than the phase of the applied voltage, but this energy is largely recovered (being essentially "imaginary power").

Excess electricity can be stored in batteries, fed back into the grid for others to use, or dissipated as heat through resistors. In a grid-tied system, electricity can also be sold back to the utility company for credit.
