It's not to correct the customer's power factor-which can only be done 
effectively  at the customer's location. A capacitor on the line will not 
provide any pf correction benefits  "downstream"

They are often used on longer feeders (even where the loads are mainly 
residential and average 0.8pf or better) to improve the voltage profile 
along the line under normal loading. Certainly a customer's low pf will 
worsen the profile .

 I wrote this before seeing Phil's and Daestroms comments- guess what-
they 
are right.
