Yes it's pretty grim for the average family. I don't have too much trouble with my bill at the moment but it has gone up about 80% over the last 10 years. I will get a bit of a reprise soon when I start selling the power back at 60c Kwh (just beat the cut off date). A projection of cost of power v income from power is slightly my way at the moment.
Water heaters, electric cooking and electric radiators are the big users of power so a solar water heater should give a substantial saving,
