The invention discloses an electric energy meter clock checkout method. A district concentrator issues an encrypted broadcast clock checkout command message to an electric energy meter, a clock checkout command is decrypted after the electric energy meter receives the broadcast clock checkout command message, and the decrypted clock checkout command comprises a clock checkout command serial numberand clock checkout time. After the encrypted broadcast clock checkout mode is adopted, the clock checkout speed and the clock checkout success rate of the electric energy meter can be greatly increased, replay attack caused by illegal interception of the clock checkout message can be effectively prevented, a clock of the electric energy meter is prevented from being illegally adjusted, and safetyof the clock is ensured.
