我國近期最重要之能源法發展，莫過於立法院於今年 （2017年）1月11日完成電業法之修正程序，並於同月26日移送總統公布施行。然而，自修法前到該法公布開始施行後，各界對其規範內容仍多有質疑並引發激烈之爭論，其中焦點之一，乃係關於電業管制機關之定位、組織及職掌事項等問題。多數意見認為未以獨立機關之組織形式形構電業管制機關，將導致其欠缺執行電業管制事務所必要之專業性與獨立性，恐有礙於該法所欲達成之電力市場自由化目的。本文探討之重點，除說明歐盟及德國電業管制機關法制之發展歷程及現況，以作為比較外，亦將由我國現行憲法及行政法中關於行政組織之相關法律規定及原理原則，乃至於釋憲實務之見解出發，探究在新版電業法之規範脈絡下，電業管制機關是否有採獨立機關組織形式之必要，同時探究該法中電業管制機關相關規定之妥適性，最後再嘗試提出本文之建議。

No other recent progress of national energy laws is more important than the one that the Legislative Yuan completed proceeding to amend the Electricity Act (hereinafter referred to as the ＂Act＂) on January 11, 2017 and then transferred it to the President for promulgation and implementation on the 26th of the same month. However, during the period from the time prior to such amendment to the time after implementation upon promulgation of the Act, all sectors have still been querying the regulations thereof and fierce controversy has been provoked; one focus of which is the issue about the position, organization and function of the electricity industry regulatory authority. In the opinions of the majority, it will result in a lack of professionalization and independence necessary for the execution of regulatory affairs of the electricity industry and will be supposedly an obstacle to the goal of liberalization of the electricity market which the Act is intended to achieve that the electricity industry regulatory authority is not organized in the form of an independent authority. As the key points discussed in this thesis, in addition to the comparison made by illustrating the development history and current situation of the legal system of electricity industry regulatory authority in European Union and Germany, it also discusses whether it is necessary to organize the electricity industry regulatory authority in the form of an independent authority under the regulations of the new version Act. The propriety of the provisions in the Act relevant to the electricity industry regulatory authority is simultaneously discussed with the start from relevant legal provisions and principles about the administrative organization in the currently effective Constitution and administrative laws, and opinions on the practice of the interpretation of the Constitution. At the end of this thesis, the writer proposes suggestions.
