I had the same problem, what I did was login locally go to the local usermanager give the domain user power user rights on the local machine. that gave them the ability to change the power off monitor settings.
I was hoping to be able to do it via group policy, i dont want to go to every pc

Assuming the PC is a member of the domain, open Local User Managment, open the Power users group, where it says add users type YOURDOMAINNAME\GROUPNAME example
I tried everything to get it to work from the Active Directory but couldn't. All you have to do is login locally not to the domain as the local administrator. Go to admin tools select users. There you can add a domain user. Add the specific user under rights give that person power user rights. Then when the user logs back in to the domain they should be able to set the power setting in the control panel. They will only have power user right over that specific machine. That will also give them the ability to set the time on the computer too. If you need exact instructions let me know.
It will change the power schem to scheme number 2, which is presentation on XP. the values range from 0-5 and are in the same order as the GUI power options (ie presentation is number 2 on this list of power schemes).
You can also change individual option by editing the binary values in the same reg key.
