A total of 126 charging stations and 1,970 charging spots will be built in Tongzhou, the new municipal administrative center of Beijing, by 2020, the city electric power company said on Wednesday.

In 2016 alone, there will be 36 more charging stations and 320 more charging spots in the suburban district of Beijing to better provide for electric vehicles, according to Beijing Electric Power Corp.

The region's electric power supply capacity will also increase more than two-fold in the next five years from 2015 levels.

Beijing will move many of its administration offices out of the city center to the eastern suburb, with "substantial progress" by 2017, according to the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning in November.

Building the new administrative center will draw approximately 400,000 urban residents from the city center to the suburban district, the commission said.

The Chinese capital has sought to address its severe "urban diseases," such as congestion and pollution, by curbing population growth and moving facilities to nearby regions.

The decision to build the new administrative center is also part of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated development plan.
