GURPS doesn't have formal "scenes" and generally avoids meta-time (except for Luck which uses realtime and various traits that operate per-session or adventure). You'd have to import the definition of "scene" for scene based mechanics to make sense and I just don't see the necessity. Note that the 3e WoD conversions didn't do this, even though the source material has formal scenes.

Upon further consideration, I think that 15 second recharge might work, but I want to know what the hivemind thinks the discount for Recharge: ~5 minutes should be.
-25% works well for recharge times between 15 seconds and an hour.

The ER that I'm trying to work with is for the Kobolds. I'm trying to set it up so they have a pool of extra FP, but need to pay HP to gain access. ER sounds like it would work the best.
Can you explain how you want it to work in more detail? 1 HP:1 FP? Or something else?
