Vectren power factor penalty - missed it completely

Three months into my first commercial audit and just discovered the client has been paying Vectren power factor penalties for 2 years. It's buried in the tariff rider section, not with the main charges. $200/month mistake I should have caught immediately.
Anyone know if there's a quick fix for power factor issues or do they need capacitor banks? This manufacturing plant has old motors.
