The invention discloses a remote meter reading method, a remote meter reading system and an intelligent electric energy meter, wherein the remote meter reading method comprises the steps that a collection terminal sends a meter reading command to the intelligent electric energy meter by a route server in a Z-Wave network, wherein the meter reading command includes an intelligent electric energy meter address and electric energy meter data item information; after receiving the meter reading command, the intelligent electric energy meter judges whether the intelligent electric energy meter address in the meter reading command is identical with the self electric energy meter address of the intelligent electric energy meter, if so, the intelligent electric energy meter conducts statistics on electric energy meter data according to the electric energy meter data item information; and the intelligent electric energy meter sends the electric energy meter data to the collection terminal by the route server. The Z-Wave network does not rely on a mobile network of an operator, thus facilitating installation, and being capable of reducing the meter reading cost while increasing the meter reading speed.
