Hi, diex ;

Current power bi service only support UTC datetime.

On Power BI Service, the now() function will return the UTC time. We can't set the time zone on Power BI Service. To get the correct local time, we can add time different in your DAX formula, or use Power Query to get the local time zone datetime(Since this is DQ mode, it is not considered）. For more details, please see: Solving DAX Time Zone Issue in Power BI.

 

This has been a issue has been raised many time, you can vote and comment the below idea submitted by other user, so Power BI team can update that issue asap.
