Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 公共行政暨政策學系 === 91 === The purpose of this thesis attempted to figure out the reform of the electricity industries in Japan, and to reach several goals including which is as following: 1.To describe the background of the privatization and liberalization, which is taken place in the public utility (as electric industries). 2.To integrate theories concerning about privatization and liberalization. 3.To explore the planning and practices of the electricity industries in Japan. 4.To analyze the process of the reform in both regulatory and practice aspects. 5.To conquer the problem after reforming: For instance, the strategy of promoting publicness while adapting entrepreneurship. 6.To predict the future blueprint of the electricity industries in Taiwan. The result of this research will provide a reference for the government to amend the current draft of the Electricity Act. And the paper also made several suggestions for Taiwan to develop related regulations and operating rules under the Electricity Act. The author have found that there are ten major electric power companies in Japan nowadays while there were five mainly before the World War 2.As we know, the ten companies were established under the press of the Matsunaga Yasusaemon, who was then the chairman of the Committees of the Reforming on Electricity Industries, the Prime Minister, and the General Head Quarter (GHQ). And surprisingly, the private operates the ten General Electricity Industries since they were established. However, it is inevitable that the market should be more open. For example, there is much“deregulation” in the industry of electricity in Japan, but it seems that there are still many problems in such reforming. Undoubtedly, Taiwan as a developing country must learn the lesson of Japan’s reforming and take advantages of it. Only by doing this can we go smoothly in facing the uncertain era.
