Multi Geo in Power BI Cost

Hello, what is the cost of having multi-geo capacity? currently we have P1 sku in US region and would like to add another capacity for uk users. 

  • You will just need to pay for that additional P1 capacity. Adding capacity cost money, but there is no additional cost in running multi-geo.

    You can also, use your current P1 (8 cores), and set up 2 capacities each with 4 cores with different geo. So cost will remain the same, but the capacity limit is halved for each capacity.

    Less core, less compute capacity, lower limit.

  • The cost is just the sku that you choose. There is no additional cost to run multi-geo skus.
