I plan to run my project off of batteries and have been doing research on the power saving options on the Arduino Uno itself (sleep functions, etc.). But the shield seems to continue to run at full power regardless of the state of the Arduino. So I am feeling like all of my power saving ideas are us…

Power Saving Options on the WiFi Shield

Then you'll need to control the WiFi's power supply. A P-channel FET or relay might work. Of course it can't transmit or receive when off.
