Configure Gateway to connect to PostgreSQL
2 Things to get this to work:
1. Install the Npgsql provider on the server that's hosting the data gateway (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Npgsql/4.0.2)
2. Reboot the server
Should now be able to use the PostgreSQL data source type when creating the data source in Power BI Service.
vrocca,
As your post, you would need to install Npgsql provider on the gateway machine and make sure that you have access to the postgreSQL data source on the gateway machine.
You can treat Power BI gateway as another client like Power BI Desktop. When using Power BI Desktop to connect to postgreSQL, Npgsql provider should be installed on the Desktop machine, so does the gateway.

Same here the error start 14/11/2019
I've solved the problem installing Npgsql 4.0.10 WITH GAC(!!!)
When installing, make sure that you select NpgSQL GAC Installation.
This GAC did the trick.
Then reboot the machine.
Good luck!
How you install on windows as no executable available?
I solve this problem with ODBC
Thank you very much, your tip was excellent for me.
After testing many other tips, I solved the problem with your tip.
Hi,
How did you install it on windows server. I have downloaded the Npgsql 4.0.10 package and while installing showing below sign for GAC.
