The multiplier is 2 if your highest [powered station puts out 150 W or less.
The multiplier is 5 if your highest [powered station puts out 5 W or
less UNLESS you are powering it from commercial power or an engine
generator.

Seems clear to me.

7. Scoring:
Scores are based on the total number of QSO points times the power
multiplier corresponding to the highest power level under which any
contact was made during the Field Day period plus the bonus points.

7.2. Power multipliers: The power multiplier that applies is
determined by the highest power output of any of the transmitters used
during the Field Day operation.

7.2.1. If all contacts are made using a power of 5 Watts or less and
if a power source other than commercial mains or motor-driven
generator is used (batteries, solar cells, water-driven generator),
the power multiplier is 5 (five).

7.2.2. If all contacts are made using a power of 5 Watts or less, but
the power source is from a commercial main or from a motor-driven
generator, the power multiplier is 2. If batteries are charged during
the Field Day period using commercial mains or a motor-driven
generator the power multiplier is 2 (two).

7.2.3. If any or all contacts are made using an output power up to 150
Watts or less, the power multiplier is 2 (two).

7.2.4. If any or all contacts are made using an output power greater
than 150 Watts, the power multiplier is 1 (one).

7.2.5. The power multiplier for an entry is determined by the maximum
output power used by any transmitter used to complete any contact
during the event. (Example: a group has one QRP station running 3
Watts and a second station running 100 Watts, the power multiplier of
2 applies to all contacts made by the entire operation).
