Exhibit 99.1 NEWS RELEASE February 15, 2008 ARC ENERGY TRUST CONFIRMS MARCH 17, 2008 CASH DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT CALGARY, February 15, 2008 (AET.UN and ARX - TSX) ARC Energy Trust (the “Trust”) confirms that the cash distribution to be paid on March 17, 2008, in respect of the February 2008 production, for unitholders of record on February 29, 2008, will be $0.20 per trust unit. The ex-distribution date is February 27, 2008. As at February 15, 2008 the Trust’s trailing twelve-month cash distributions, including the February 15, 2008 payment, total $2.40 per trust unit. ARC Energy Trust is one of Canada’s largest conventional oil and gas royalty trusts with an enterprise value of approximately $5.7 billion. The Trust expects full year 2008 oil and gas production to average approximately 63,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day from six core areas in western Canada. ARC Energy Trust units trade on the TSX under the symbol AET.UN and ARC Resources exchangeable shares trade under the symbol ARX. Note: Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. In accordance with NI 51-101, a boe conversion ratio for natural gas of 6 mcf:1 bbl has been used, which is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
