States are always strings… attributes can be other data types like floats, integers, arrays, or datetime objects, but states are always string. As such, you need to convert them to a datetime object before you can use strftime()

{% set dt = states('sensor.power_highest_peak_time_today') | as_datetime | as_local %}
{{ dt.strftime("%H:%M") }}

You can slice the string like this:

{{ states('sensor.power_highest_peak_time_today')[-14:-9] }}
