Initially called the '''Pensacola Steam Plant''', it The plant was first brought on-line on [[January 1]], [[1945]]. In the preceding years during [[World War II]], limited construction supplies had precluded the construction of the much-needed plant, forcing Gulf Power to barge in a surplus floating Navy generating unit, which operated on pilings for one year and helped meet the rapidly increasing demand. The plant's first generating unit had a capacity of 22,500 kilowatts. More units were added over the years, with the 500,000-kilowatt Unit 7 coming on-line in August [[1973]].

[[Image:CristPlant.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Crist Plant on Escambia Bay]]The '''James F. Crist Generating Plant''' (commonly called the '''Crist Plant''' or '''Plant Crist''') is one of three plants wholly-owned by the [[Gulf Power Company]]. It is located in northwest Pensacola on [[Governor's Bayou]], where [[Escambia River]] feeds into [[Escambia Bay]]. It is named for [[James F. Crist]], president of Gulf Power from [[1948]] to [[1955]].
The plant is coal-operated and has four active generating units with a total generating capacity of 930,000 kilowatts. A $650 million state of the art "scrubber" system was installed in December of 2009, removing more than 95 percent of regulated emissions.
