In March 2024, we announced the end of life for the Power BI Premium capacity SKUs for Commercial cloud customers. Depending on your existing agreement, the retirement impacts you differently:
- New customers will not be able to purchase Power BI Premium per capacity after July 1, 2024.
- Existing customers without an Enterprise Agreement (EA) will be able to renew their Power BI Premium capacity subscriptions until February 1, 2025. Customers who have a renewal date after February 1, 2025 will need to replace their Power BI Premium capacity subscription purchase with the purchase of Fabric capacity at the end of their agreement.
- Customers with an existing EA agreement can continue to renew their Power BI Premium capacity purchase annually until the end of their EA agreement. If the end of the existing EA agreement is after February 1st, 2025, they will have to transition to Fabric capacity once the agreement has ended to continue using Microsoft Fabric.
- Customers on a sovereign cloud will not be impacted by this retirement as they do not currently have access to Microsoft Fabric. We will provide additional information as soon as it’s available.
All existing customers will be able to purchase more Power BI Premium capacity on their current agreement until its end date. Visit https://aka.ms/FabricRoadmap for more details around the GCC timeline for this transition in the future.
