Ubuntu already fully supports Intel GPUs using the built-in "modesetting" driver. So you don't need to install xserver- xorg-video- intel and it probably would not help power usage if you did.
What is the main problem you're trying to solve? If it's the power usage then the Nvidia GPU is more likely the main problem. To reduce the power usage there you can:
* Maybe disable the secondary GPU in your BIOS; or
* Install a more power-efficient driver by looking in:
Settings > Software & Updates > Additional drivers
Is power usage the main problem?
