Configuration option "Optimization -> Power" has a default value 'Better Performance'. It forces machine to use the discrete graphic card (on MacBook Pro computers).

We need to set this option to 'Longer Battery Life' on the pre-boot step.

Command is easy:

prlctl set <vm_uuid> --longer-battery-life on

Done. Now Power consumption method is "Longer Battery Life" by default.
You can override it using this customisation parameter:

config.vm.provider "parallels" do |v| 
  v.optimize_power_consumption = false
end

P.s. Read more about power consumption modes in Parallels Desktop: http://kb.parallels.com/en/9607

Done. Included to v1.0.7

Important! This feature is working only for Parallels Desktop 9 and higher.
If you are using an older version of Parallels Desktop, Power Consumption management will be just skipped.

Woo! Thank you! I just discovered this with my new Mac and searching the Parallels forums. Nice to know Vagrant will do it for me in the future.
