Power BI Premium P2 as copilot capacity

[hufi01]

We've got a Power BI Premium Capacity P2 in our corporation as well as another Capacity. 

To monitor the usage, we'd like to set up the P2 as a Fabric Copilot capacity. I've enabled Copilot usage for the respective user groups and activated "Capacities can be designated as Fabric Copilot capacities" as well.

However, in the tenant settings Power BI does not offer the "copilot capacity" option that should be displayed above the contributor setting. 

Both my premium capacity as well as my tenant are within the north europe region. 

any clue on how to proceed with this?

Thanks in advance

Hi @hufi01 

The “Copilot capacity” option isn’t appearing because Fabric Copilot capacity is only available in certain supported regions (currently US and France), North Europe isn’t yet enabled, so the setting won’t show up until Microsoft expands regional availability, take a look at this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/copilot-faq-fabric

Did it work? 👍 A kudos would be appreciated

first of all, thx for the quick reply! however, the thing you mentioned as to my understanding only refers to whether or not the copilot is auto activated, right? i don't really see any reference to the capacity capability availability

@hufi01 you’re running a Power BI Premium P2 capacity in North Europe, even though you’ve switched on “Capacities can be designated as Fabric Copilot capacities”, the admin portal still doesn’t show the “Copilot capacity” option.

The reason is timing, Microsoft has announced that Premium P‑SKUs (like P2) will be retired after February 1, 2025, with customers expected to move over to Fabric F‑SKUs and Copilot capacity designation is fully supported once you’re on Fabric F2 or higher, but for P‑SKUs the rollout has been patchy and depends on the region.

Hi @hufi01, 

There's a handful of features that don't suppor tthe old P SKU capacities. 

The P capacities have been phased out, and you likely won't be able to renew it at your next contract renewal. My org had to migrate over to F skus this year. 

It might be a good idea to start planning to migrate to an F128 which is roughly the same as a P2. 

Other things I've seen that don't work on P capacities include CosmoDB. 
Here's a nice chart:
