Energy is measured in joules.
The metric unit of potential energy is the joule (J).
The higher off the ground something is, the greater its GPE is. GPE=mass x gravitatonal constant x height.
The international unit for any type of energy is the joule.

That refers to gravitational potential energy - energy related to a gravitational field. If you lift an object up, its gravitational potential energy increases; if it falls back down, its gravitational potential energy decreases.
Potential energy per unit charge is the electric potential, commonly referred to as voltage. It represents the amount of energy required to move a unit positive charge from a reference point to a given point in an electric field. The unit for potential energy per unit charge is volts (V).
Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit coulomb. So unit for electric potential is J/C and that of electric potential energy is simply J
the unit is the same for all kinds of energy : Joule ( which is equivalent to N.m )

The metric unit for potential energy is the joule (J). It is the amount of energy an object has due to its position or state.
The SI unit for potential energy is the joule (J).
