I'm sorry I must be missing something, but you can connect capacitors in series with load?

The usual reason for installing a capacitor bank across a load in power transmission terms, is to "tune" the circuit to the power supply frequency, thereby increasing the power factor, reducing feeder losses, and reducing tariff payments. It is the tariff payments that drive the action.
