We decided against this. Booting a host can take a long time + there is some time before our management agent reports in and we can't wait that long when starting a VM. That is why we keep the empty host in reserve. That way the VM can be started immediately and the additional host's boot time does not matter too much. > Also, Is there any timeline base power saving policy I can apply?

We do not have UI for this, but it is easily done using cron and REST API (either directly or using some SDK). We were even working on it for a while, but it was put on backburner since sysadmins know cron well and the UI would have to be limited anyway.
