The banner's landing was first reported around noon near the intersection of 5th and Brannan streets.
Upon contact with the power lines, the banner reportedly burned up and caused a power outage for an estimated 250 residents in the surrounding area, according to PG&E.
As of 1 p.m., there was no estimated time of restoration from PG&E for customers near S. Market and China Basin that had lost power.
The intersection of 5th and Brannan streets was closed off by emergency crews while they attempted to remove the banner from the power lines.
No injuries were reported following the incident.
