Don't most countries offer subsidies for photovoltaics? Put solar on your roof and your energy bill goes down. That's the most direct government investment I can think of that will effect you directly.
Other than that, its supply and demand. The government building huge solar arrays wont bring your bill down if the demand for energy keeps rising. They'd need to build more production than there is demand.
They do, but they also keep subsidising black energy too.
