Hi Nuriyatu Haruna,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Yes, Power BI Premium or Premium Per User (PPU) licensing is required to utilize Copilot in Power BI and Power Query. These AI-driven features are exclusive to the Premium tier, which offers advanced capabilities for individuals and organizations. Please note that Copilot is not supported under the Free or Pro plans.

Please reach out to us if you have any other queries.

The question is not completely answered yet, as there seems to be a need for a PowerBI Capacity license required (with a minimum of $60,000/year cost depending on the tier). I find it hard to believe that we would have to purchase that license, or have our clients purchase the Premium Capacity license at this steep cost in order for us to use the Copilot features in development of PowerBI code and dashboards.

Can you please provide confirmation or guidance in case we made any wrong assumptions. I'd like to know exactly what is needed in order for our dev team to be able to use Copilot with powerBI in development.

Thank you

Hi but some sources says to use Copilot in Power BI I have to buy Capacity, for 20$ PPU Copilot is not available. Can you clarify it please!

Your understanding is correct. Copilot in Power BI is not available with the $20 Premium Per User (PPU) license.

It requires a Premium Capacity (P1/F64 or higher). While PPU includes some Premium features, Copilot specifically relies on dedicated capacity rather than per-user licensing.
