"Apogee" and "perigee" are the points in the orbit of an Earth satellite where the
orbiting body is farthest from and nearest to the Earth, respectively. I don't think
that's what you're looking for. I suspect you're asking for the point in its orbit where
Pluto is farthest from the Sun ... the point called its "Aphelion".
Pluto's orbit is quite eccentric, that is, non-circular:
-- At aphelion, it's 7,311,000,000 km (4,543,000,000 miles) from the sun.
-- At the other extreme, called "perihelion", it's 4,437,000,000 km (2,757,000,000 miles) from the sun.
-- Pluto's orbital period is 246 Earth years. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto
has completed less than 1/3 of a single orbital revolution.

How do you transfer a satellite revolving around the earth in elliptical orbit into a circular orbit by retaining the apogee of the ellipse as radius of the circular orbit?
This very maneuver is performed by the Shuttle during every mission. At launch, the Shuttle is on the ground, and then rises, and tilts to the east. The purpose of this particular path is twofold; first and foremost, to get above the vast majority of the atmosphere as quickly as possible, and second, to accelerate to something close to orbital speed. At the typical altitude that the Shuttle flies, this is about 18,000 miles per hour. The engines can't run continually; they don't carry enough fuel. So they accelerate and then coast, on a ballistic trajectory that will bring them to just touch the altitude of the ISS. Then, just as they reach that altitude, they fire the main engines again to "circularize" the orbit.
The potential energy of a satellite in an elliptical orbit is?
The total energy of a satellite doesn't change. At its closest approach to the planet, it has the most kinetic energy and the least potential, whereas at its furthest retreat from the planet, it has the least kinetic energy and the most potential. But their sum ... the satellite's total mechanical energy ... is always the same. (It may gain heat energy when the sun is shining directly on it, and lose it when it's in the planet's cold shadow, but neither of those changes affects its orbit.)
