Well yes, but I’m working on the assumption that anyone who still has an economy 7 meter has it because they still use it to meter an economy 7 tariff. If that’s the case then the old meter, come June, will begin logging overnight usage at the same standard rate as daytime. That will quickly get very expensive if you’re still running storage heaters. The only way to continue using storage heaters once the RTS signal is turned off would be to use a smart meter.
