Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 行政管理碩士學程 === 98 === As the greenhouse effect is forcing the world to focus their attention on carbon reduction issues, many European countries and the United States are beginning to invest in Advanced Metering Infrastructure. After achieving consensus with various parties at the National Energy Conference in 2009 and the government's announcement of investing in the building of Advanced Metering Infrastructure, how to develop the related industries in Advanced Metering Infrastructure is an issue that draws many people's attention. Whether the government's policy is appropriately set, the strengths and weaknesses of industry, and the key factors in development, are the main focus of this study. Through literature analysis, in-depth interviews, and participant observation, this study conducted observations on the Advanced Metering Infrastructure industries, and analyzed them by using methods such as PEST analysis, diamond model, SWOT analysis, and five forces analysis. Through the analysis, it was found that our current Advanced Metering Infrastructure industries are greatly affected by the Taiwan Power Company. And due to factors as the world trend that is currently booming, competition in the industry will gradually intensify, while clear policy objectives, interface standards and norms are needed as the industries continue to grow. Moreover, its speed of commercialization will depend on the technologies from the domestic information technology and communication industry and electronics industry, before the industry is finally integrated and becomes strong enough to enter the foreign markets. Furthermore, in terms of the establishment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure, it will require complementary measures such as tariff restructuring and public buy-in, before the benefits of Advanced Metering Infrastructure can be maximized. Based on the analysis, this study's recommendations are that in terms of policy, adequate room must be allowed for in the establishment phase for adjustment, together with a cross-ministry policy leader responsible for the integration of relevant policies, ongoing effectiveness assessments, support of tariff restructuring, setting interface standards, assisting industry operators in strategic alliances or integration, and public education, etc. In terms of industry development, the recommendation is that vendors must participate actively in Energy Bureau's planning and Taiwan Power Company's building work, develop in-house technology, form strategic alliance and integration, verify product quality of upstream suppliers, utilize the sales channels of the domestic network and communication industries, and reduce the labor capital.
