The Lago di Piana degli Albanesi, (in Albanian language liqeni i Horës së Arbëreshëvet), is an artificial lake in Piana degli Albanesi, in the Province of Palermo, Sicily, Italy.
The lake was made to produce electricity. It was built from 1920 to 1923 by hand. The output water jump 475 m lower until the "Casuzze" hydro-electrical plant near Palermo. In the sixties, to supply the increased demand of electricity, a newer plant just near the dam was built. The plant of Casuzze is still in function.
