Try to calculate the power using the basic equation P= 1.732xIVxp.f

Suppose you have a power factor of 85% lagging. The consumption of electricity if you will have 85% leading will be the same.

The purpose of using capacitor bank is avoid voltage drops due to equipments that use electromagnets such as motors, and lighting ballasts.
