Describe the issue
I'm using the new feature to force energy calculations based on the group power.
I noticed these energy sensors don't update as long the group power doesn't change. That is a know issue with riemann sensors, so I guess this group power value isn't updated by a timer (I think you are doing that for individu lights as I noticed this option: force_update_frequency)

sensors:
- create_group: woonkamer lights
unique_id: powercalc_group_woonkamer_lights
create_energy_sensor: true
force_calculate_group_energy: true
entities:
- entity_id: light.tv_lamp
- entity_id: light.leeslamp
- entity_id: light.bureau_koof
- entity_id: light.zithoek

For the individual power sensors Powercalc forces a state update to let the Riemann sensor do it's work.
The group sensors doesn't however.
I saw some developments at HA core where there will be a time based implementation.
So I suggest to wait for that development (probably next month release), as there would probably not be a hack needed which I implemented for the virtual power sensors.
Yes the real issue is definitely in the riemann integration. And the author initially (two years ago) even didn't agree it was a bug. I'm following that timer fix for months now, but don't share your optimism when it will be in 😏
If it is a lot of work for you I agree to wait! Otherwise it would be helpful as a temporary fix
There is actively being worked on seeing the latest pull requests:
Yes, we are monitoring the same change 🤞
Didn't make it for 2024.5.0 😳
The Riemann pull request finally made progress 🥳

Nice!
I didn't update yet, but I guess it's in the release.
