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.

Don’t most countries offer subsidies for photovoltaics?
They do, but they also keep subsidising black energy too.
Guess the problem with green energy (hint: it's not the fact that it's better for the environment)
Green energy can't be scarce, therefore cheap. Solar, wind, water, never happen. They can always slow the generators, can't slow the sun.
can't slow the sun.
Take a look at what happened April 28th in Spain.
Considering the only conclusion so far is that there was a surge and final reports are not in yet, do enlighten (pun intended).
