Is it possible to power down all the PLLs and VCO of a MAX 10 Device?

We are designing a board in which we would like not to use the analog features, like PLL, VCO and ADCs of a MAX10. UG-M10CLKPLL par. 2.3.6 states : "The only time that the VCO is completely disabled is when

you do not have a PLL instantiated in your design". Does it mean that whitout instantiations of a PLL in the design we can assume that all the VCO are powered down? Do we also need to connect to GND the AVDD?

Thank you
