Here's a breakdown:

* Electric current is the flow of electric charge. This charge is carried by tiny particles called electrons.

* Electrical energy is the potential energy stored in the electric field created by these charges.

When electrons flow through a circuit, they carry this stored energy with them. This energy can then be used to power devices, generate heat, or perform other work.

Think of it like water flowing through a pipe. The water itself isn't the energy, but it carries the potential energy of the water pressure with it.
