Local timezone error while running `1_operations_problems.ipynb` in Binder

[k1nshuk]

I tried running the SIIP Example notebooks in the binder. However, I encounter an error when PowerModels tries to activate Memento. Specifically the error is as follows

ERROR: LoadError: InitError: Failed to find local time zone

I don't get this error when I try to run the same notebook locally from the terminal. I understand that PowerModels is not a part of SIIP, so consequently, I apologize if this is not the correct place for the issue.

@k1nshuk thanks for letting me know. This is the perfect forum for this comment/issue. I've addressed by setting up binder to install the tzdata info. You can give it another try. It seems to be working for me.
