My proposal at rewording it.

A list of all the supported EPP preferences that could be used for
``energy_performance_preference` on this system.
These profiles represent different hints that are provided
to the low-level firmware about the user's desired energy vs efficiency
tradeoff. ``default`` represents the epp value is set by platform
firmware. This attribute is read-only.
