Decoding error when loading zone names

[natke]

Fresh clone and package install on Windows. Python 3.9.

(Had to downgrade pandas to 1.5.3 due to json normalize issue. Fix is in PR #77)

Run python my_experiment.py

Gives the following error

(exp-impact-test) c:\Users\nakersha\Develop\code\misc\experiment-impact-tracker\examples>python my_experiment.py

I see the lib does not support Windows. Will try on Linux. Any plans to support Windows?
