MS Power BI Premium
In 2026, Microsoft Power BI Premium provides enterprise-grade data visualization and analytics capabilities, including advanced AI, paginated reports, and greater scale for large datasets. As of 2026, Microsoft has largely transitioned Premium Capacity licenses to Microsoft Fabric capacity SKUs, though existing Enterprise Agreement customers may still be in the final stages of this migration.
What is Power BI Premium?
MS Power BI Premium is an advanced subscription tier of Power BI, designed specifically for large organizations with massive amounts of data that require greater capabilities and more powerful processing power than the standard Power BI Pro subscription provides. www.powerbi.microsoft.com
The primary goal of MS Power BI Premium is to provide dedicated computing power instead of relying on shared resources, as is the case with Pro subscriptions. Simply put, the standard subscription forces you to share server resources with other users, while Premium gives you your own dedicated server space. This ensures consistent and fast performance for all reports and dashboards, regardless of the number of users or the size of the data.
MS Power BI Premium is designed to address the challenges of large enterprise deployments and workloads. It comes with considerably more features and advanced functionality. Users of MS Power BI Premium can take advantage of the following:
MS Power BI Premium Features
- 100GB model size limit
- 100TB of storage
- Access to one API surface
- XMLA endpoint read/write connectivity
- Data flows
- Analyse data stored in Azure Data Lake Storage
- Application lifecycle management
- Ability to embed Power BI visuals into apps such as PowerApps, SharePoint, and Teams
- Larger storage size for extended deployment
- Advanced AI features
- 48 data refreshes daily
- Geo distribution, pin-to-memory, and read-only replicas
Additional features in MS Power BI Premium
- Dedicated Capacity: This is the biggest advantage. Instead of sharing server resources with other users, Power BI Premium gives you dedicated resources just for you. This ensures:
- Better and Faster Performance: Reports and analytics run at lightning speed because resources aren’t burdened by other users.
- Handling Massive Data: You can import and work with datasets up to 400 GB, unlike Power BI Pro which is limited to 1 GB.
- Faster Data Updates: You can update data up to 48 times a day, compared to only 8 times with the standard subscription.
- Advanced AI Capabilities: MS Power BI Premium unlocks powerful AI tools built into the service, such as:
- AutoML: Helps you easily and automatically create machine learning models.
- Text Analytics & Image Recognition: Analyzes text and images in your data to extract valuable insights.
- Paginates Reports: This is an important tool for organizations that need to create print-ready reports with a specific format. Unlike regular interactive reports, Paginates Reports are static and designed for export to PDF or printing.
- XML Endpoints: This feature allows developers and experts to use external tools like SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to directly access datasets in Power BI, giving them greater control and more advanced data management capabilities.
- Distribution to Unlicensed Users: A unique feature of MS Power BI Premium is the ability to share content (reports and dashboards) with a large number of users, even if they don’t have a Power BI Pro license. This significantly reduces costs for organizations with thousands of employees who need to provide them with access to reports without requiring individual subscriptions.
What are the Different Power BI Licences Available?
There are three main types of Power BI per-user licences: Desktop (Free), Pro, and Premium. The type of licence a user needs is determined by where data is stored, how they’ll interact with that data, and if that data requires Premium features. Where data can be stored is determined by your organisation’s licence type.
- Microsoft Power BI Desktop (previously referred to as Microsoft Power BI Free)
- Microsoft Power BI Pro
- Microsoft Power BI Premium
Additional Licensing Options
Besides the above, Microsoft also offers:
- Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) – combines Premium features on a per-user basis
- Power BI Premium Capacity – dedicated capacity for enterprise-level deployments
- Power BI Embedded – for integrating Power BI visuals into custom apps or websites
- Microsoft Fabric – the next generation of analytics platform integrating Power BI with other data tools for broader analytics capabilities
This includes additional features such as:
- On-premise reporting
- 400GB model size limit
- Multi-location deployment management
- Azure Autoscale add-on
In short
MS Power BI Premium is not just a regular subscription; it’s a comprehensive solution tailored for large organizations that require very high performance, advanced analytical capabilities, and full control over resources. All of this comes with the ability to share content with an unlimited number of users at a lower cost.
