The potential at any point on the conductor has to be same. So if it is uncharged. potential is zero. If it is charged with some kind of distribution on it surface. Then its potential is the energy required to bring such charge from infinity to the conductor divided by the amount of charge. That is, it is potential energy of the charge distribution per unit charge.
