Other answers:
The REC said they had many neutral lines down yet and they were
repairing them as the could, thus the 1 line vs. 2 line question.

How can you have power without a neutral?
Impossible !!!!!
You cant just rely on the ground rods.

That alone could make the electronics in your meter go whacky.

Hmmmm, I would seem that if one were in a USA type Distribution System,
AND one had 120/240 Single Phase, and the Neutral was open, that ALL
the 240 Vac Loads would still work, just Peachie..... Or, if one
had a 240/120 Vac Transformer in their System, again if the Feed Neutral
was open, they would still have 120 Vac at the output of the
Transformer..... Or, if one was feed 3 Phase Delta, no Neutral is
REQUIRED......

Does that meet your Power requirement??? Impossible!!!!! NOT.....
