How to remove power option icon only from notification area?

If you are still interested in removing only the power icon, you might try going to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-messages/ and rename indicator-messages-service adding dot disabled. Log out and back in and only the power icon is removed. This avoids removing all the systray icons.

sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-messages/indicator-messages-service /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-messages/indicator-messages-service.disabled
sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-session/indicator-session-service /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-session/indicator-session-service.disabled
